Great Experience

It was great for what I needed. Bed was decently comfortable for one night. More importantly, the bed was clean. The price was cheap compared to the hotels, especially in my case. Service was great, check in & check out are super easy. I’d come back for sure.

My train was delayed by 9 hours so instead of arriving at 430 pm it was 130 am. The gentleman stayed just for my arrival of which I was so grateful as a solo female traveler. He was welcoming and kind for this weary traveler and even said "have to keep the kids safe" when I thanked him. Very kind. Rooms clean. Bathrooms clean. A great place to stay!

Hidden Gem in Chicago!

I really enjoyed my stay at The Parthenon! It's a hidden gem near downtown Chicago in Greektown. An 8-minute walk from Union Station if you're coming in on the train. I come to Chicago from Wisconsin every so often to see friends, but I'm at a point in life where I can't crash on their couches anymore. I also don't want to pay a crazy amount for a hotel room for one night. When I came across the Parthenon, it was the one solution to my problem! I had a super affordable one-bed with a shared bathroom and shower for one night, and that's honestly all I need. The staff was super friendly. It's very cute and kitschy. The Greektown neighborhood is also very quaint with beautiful tree lights at night. Go check this out for an affordable stay!
