This hotel is located in a good location for travel to the Loop and other venues and is value priced. Both are important factors in whether you should stay in the hotel. Chinatown is a safe although unique neighborhood of Chinese restaurants and flea markets. It is not a family friendly hotel or neighborhood although ideal for a single or... more

The room was too small even for a single person. The only space you can have in the room is setting on the bed. The blanket was dirty and I could find some human's hairs on it. There is no way you can adjust the air-conditioning. The hotel staff was polite and helpful, but one thing made me feel uncomfortable... more

Was looking for a cheap place to stay during the Sox world series and Chinatown SRO fit the bill perfectly!

I admit I was terrified of staying here after reading the reviews describing bugs and whatnot, but since I needed to save money, I did it anyway.

We stayed 4 nights at the Chinatown SRO and enjoyed it very much. For $65 a night + tax we were suspicious, but were pleasantly surprised. For that price we weren't expecting elegance, but as we were bringing our 3 year-old and infant we did want it to be safe and clean. We were able to get a two-room "suite"... more
