I found this hotel online and contacted them as I wanted a budget hotel in the Gay Area of Chicago known as East Lake View. Several hotels came up in the area, but all of them were between $250 and $450 for a 2 night stay. The Bellwood advised they didn't take reservations and you just had to turn up... more

On my previose (first-time) visit to Chicago, I booked three nights at the next-to-cheapest place I could find, which was a traveller's hostel a couple miles from the Bellwood, , where I had one fo the worst lodging expereinces of my life. If I only had known that for a few dollars more per night, I could have gotten a... more

I really like this hotel, it is really nice and clean and has a nice price for the night. They also advertise weekly rates for $190. I and my partner wanted to rent for a week, and the application would take a day process. The Manager only shows up according to her employees once a day. Well she review our... more

How can you book a hotel in advance, regardless of reviews, if they refuse to take reservations? This may be a great deal, but it's reduced to an as-available basis on the day you want to stay there. How stupid is that? more

Walked in with friends from out of town. We were met by a real friendly desk clerk and the manager of the hotel . Within minutes it felt like we had known these two forever. The manager Pat a very nice "mother type" lady knew all the things and places we should visit. She obviously loves her job and they... more

My room was freshly decorated and clean. The staff was helpful and attentive. I would definately stay there again. BTW, there is a bus that stops in front of the hotel and takes you to the lake and the Lincoln Park Zoo. more

I can't believe the two other Tripadvisor reviews. Were they staying at the same place? Folks, this could be described as an inexpensive urban hotel, in other words--a flophouse. This is a place that doesn't take reservations or credit cards. You pay your cash to a guy sitting in an enclosed booth in the lobby, and you slip it to... more
