House 5863 - Chicago Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Overall property and room was very clean, comfortable and enjoyable. The continental breakfast was delicious and diverse. Erick, the property owner/manager was pleasant and helpful."

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

8/10 Good

"The women at the front desk were very helpful, very smart, knowledgeable and would go out of their way to help. What prevents 5 stars is the $18 for parking."

Super 8 by Wyndham Chicago IL

8/10 Good

"The property was small, but neat. Parking was minimal and in a VERY tight covered area. The outside of the property looked kind of shabby. The check in was strange-done via monitor and camera. It was a live person, they just weren't physically in that location. It was kind of neat that our conversation showed up on the screen as we spoke, like closed captioning. There were actual staff people at the front desk, but they were there to get things like ice buckets or more towels. They were friendly. The building was all strange angles and everything in the room was the same. There was no regular corner, everything was slanted. Overall, the stay was fine. It was quiet. And we got it for a decent price. You do pay extra for parking though.."

Hampton Inn Chicago North-Loyola Station

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely close to Loyola University. Walkable to campus and multiple restaurants. Always friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. Parking is convenient. Good hot breakfast is included."
