Heart O' Chicago

This hotel was recommended to me by a friend. At first glance I thought that it was a bad joke. I'm here to tell you that Heart O Chicago is no joke. It's the real deal! This is one of the cleanest motels that I've ever stayed at. It is a real mom and pop business! You're not going to find a pool or gym here. Let's face it, you're not in Chicago to swim and workout. If all you need is a place to stay at an incredible price, Heart O Chicago Motel is what you need! We will be back!

The fact that we had to leave a $20 room key deposit ($5 per key x 4) I thought was kind of silly.

The area was great for us, not far from the L and close to some bars. There aren't a lot of great restaurants nearby for dinner, but a couple of fantastic breakfast places (Alexander's and Ann Sather). I'd definitely stay there again next time I'm in town.

It's a motel, so it does not have much in the way of amenities or comfort. But the property is clean, and the checkin person was very helpful. The local area is nice.

Stayed one night here on a quickie vacation to Chicago to keep the cost down and a couple of nights in the Central Loop in a more upscale hotel. Experience was good. The motel is older and the rooms are a bit dated (a throwback to the 60's with the original yellow tub!) but very clean. We arrived very late for check in but front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating; we had asked for a quiet room when reserving and they provided us with exactly what we had requested. Free breakfast was ok, would have been nice to have some lower sugar carbohydrate choices (even toast & toaster for example) but it's difficult to complain about something that's a freeby. Price was very reasonable I thought considering the quality and safety of the area-many of the lower priced options I searched just slightly outside of the downtown Chicago area were in areas that were seemingly a bit more sketchy. The area/location was excellent, both in terms of safety and proximity to downtown Chicago.Very easy to get into the City from here. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
