The hotel is good if you want to save money being in a very central location in Chicago. You are just few steps from Grant Park and from the subway stops in theLoop. The forniture and the internal aspect of the hotel are old-fashion and not fancy at all. Anyway you have a 30'' TV and free Wi-Fi connection. The... more

Let me start with a couple of positive notes on this hotel. For the Chicago Loop location, it's relatively cheap. The red line subway and the buses are just 1 or 2 blocks away . The rooms are quite large and the view is nice. Now come the bad parts: The EL train tracks are across the street. The passing... more

The Travel Lodge was a great choice for budget travelers, but after returning home we learned that you get what you paid for, or didn't pay for in our case. Three out of the four of us who stayed in the small two double bedroom on the 11th floor got home only to find out we had contracted scabies from... more

I wanted a hotel right in the downtown of Chicago as close to Lake Michigan and Grant Park as possible, because I wanted to be near everything I wanted to see. Most of the hotels in this area were extremely expensive and not affordable, except for the Travelodge Downtown Hotel. It is located just two blocks from Grant Park and... more

The hotel was maybe a 15 min walk to Grant Park, 10 min to Millennium Park. We took a taxi to Navy Pier & Shedd Aquarium, it was only $7 each. There... more

Very clean, close to all subways and buses. Very nice people!!! I will stay in this hotel my next trip to Chicago. more

I booked this hotel for a total of eight days in mid-to-late June when I needed to come to Chicago for an operation. The room they gave me (twice - on either side of the surgery) was large and clean; it had both a refrigerator and a microwave. The bathroom alone was larger than some hotel rooms I have stayed... more

This was one of the worst hotel experiences of my life. I (mom) was in Chicago with my adult son and had booked a room with 2 double beds. Instead we got a room with a King bed and were told there were no other rooms available. When I asked for a cot, none of those were available either. When... more
