Think of an old motor lodge from your childhood and this is it. Clean, a bit shabby but Free parking (In Chicago- think about that!) Free continental breakfast (included fresh fruit and healthy cereal) Good coffee. I had a quiet, non-smoking room. As a woman traveling alone I felt safe with lots of people staying there and lots of kids.... more

My wife and I stayed in the Heart O Chicago Motel so we could look for apartments. It was the perfect place to stay for us simply because it had free wireless internet so we could look for apartments online, and a CTA bus stop that is right in front of the motel that takes you directly to the bryn... more

Great little place! Clean, old, but nice for the price! We will go back! Took the Red Line to Addison and the Cubs game and then on to Bryn Mar. There is a bus that runs right by the Motel if you get there before 10 p.m. but they start back up at 6 am! This is how to enjoy... more

This was our first stay in Chicago. When I was looking for hotels, the prices were unbelievable and some of the reviews for these high price hotels were worse. I am so thankful for the reviews on Heart O'Chicago because I was not disappointed. This two-night stay was great. The motel is retro--yellow everywhere! The breakfast was adequate for us--fresh... more

We just came back from a long weekend in Chicago, spending 3 nights at this hotel. I chose this hotel from the reviews on this board. Well, I was not disappointed at all. Actually, it went beyond my expectation. When I called to book the room, I asked for the one upstairs away from the street. I got room 206.... more

For the past five years I have gone to the Taste of Chicago and stayed at this hotel with NO problems. Its nice, safe and above all its CLEAN. It offers a simple place for you to rest your head where you dont have to worry about someone breaking into your car at night. The overnight check in is located... more

We stayed in this motel in July 2005, at the peak of the busy travel season in the US. When we booked the motel, we read other Trip Advisor reviews and were expecting a no-frills but clean and decent motel at a great price. That's exactly what we got. I gave it 4 stars not because of how fabulous it... more

I'm a wheelchaired patron and I found this hotel uniquely accessable given it's size and age. I have personally written to the ADA commenting on how well they caitered to my needs. The rates were reasonable, and the retro atmosphere kept me amused between the nights. more

We stayed at this MOTEL for 3 nights March 2006. We paid $72.00 per night. We did not have a car as we flew in and used public transportation (bus, subway, taxi) during our stay. If you are using only public transportation and want to leave the hotel, I would NOT recommend this MOTEL. We took the bus on the... more
