Overall an average stay. Comfy enough, ended up being put in a different room than we booked since they didn’t have any nonsmoking double beds rooms left. Breakfast was basically nonexistent which wasn’t a big deal. Just know there’s only cereal and oatmeal lol Bed was fine, tv worked and bathroom got the job done. The free parking was very nice! Kind of just a sketchy vibe since it’s a motel but safe enough! Got what we paid for and we’re happy about that :)

Solid motel of yesteryear, I'd strongly recommend you bring along ear plugs or just turn on the fan for background (white) noise. Houskeeping A+ every day.

This is not a hotel option to pass on. The hotel is close to transit so getting to downtown and to a Cubs game is easy to do. There are alsom many dining and options and small uniqure shops along Clark and Broadway.

This is the fourth time I have stayed at the Heart O' Chicago. The rooms have some wear and tear but, they are always clean and we haven't had any issues. Love that I can walk anywhere. Plus, if you are attending an event that is train accessible - you can walk the two blocks to the brand new train station and leave the car behind (and save 60 dollars in parking downtown). One downside - the breakfast is a joke. Cereal and apples - that was it. Sad. There are many good places to eat in the area and rather than paying the 3 dollar charge for vending machine water - I walked into the neighborhoods and picked up some items at a local store.

Walking into my room was like walking into a typical movie set. The room as spacious, smelled nice and as clean and organized. It's location leads itself to a loud outside and the blackout curtains did help with the morning light.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff person who checked me in was unpleasant to put it mildly. The room was an adjoining room so I could hear everything going on next door. Then around 9:00 at night it sounded like the party next door was trying to unlock and open the adjoining door on their side... this went on for a while until it sounded as though they slid something in front of the door. I could hear several arguments outside during the night. I had an UberEats delivery that was delivered to the wrong address but when I went outside to look for the order at the unit shown in the confirmation delivery picture it was gone. A complete waste of $140... spend your money elsewhere.

Exactly what I needed for my stint in Chicago - a clean bed, good shower and a safe place to leave my car. The only issue was check out - at 11, but my room card stopped working at 930. But I was allowed back in easy enough. Thank you!!

I booked a non smoking room and they only had smoking left so they clearly don't honor specific reservations I didn't have time to go somewhere else so I had to live with it. I was there hours past when checkin starts but they didn't even have the room clean. The window opened but didn't have a screen so it was hard to attempt to minimize the smoke smell. Bed was extremely uncomfortable Parking being included was nice

Although this property is centrally located, especially for meeting with relatives, it has seen better days as witnessed by the non-smoking room that recalled of an ash tray. If you crave an old motel in a scary neighborhood this place is for you.

Dangerous Hotel

This is not just a hotel, it’s a housing unit. Most of the rooms are people living there full time. It was incredibly dangerous. The stairs are facing the back of the hotel I’m a dark hallway and there were people gathered there and drug deals happening all hours of the night. There were people walking around and knocking on doors all night long. People were gathered in the parking lot by the trash cans (which are in the parking lot) all afternoon and night. The room had a horrendous smell. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable. I was genuinely scared to be there. Only stayed one night and left as soon as the sun came out in the morning. BE VERY CAUTIOUS IF STAYING HERE!!

Convenient and inexpensive

Great location for Edgewater and Andersonville. Convenient to several popular gay bars. Inexpensive for adults, but probably not recommended for families.
