Excellent Hotel
The hotel was very nice. It was very clean and the staff were fantastic. It is located in the business district so everything closes around 7 or 8 PM. You have to walk quite a few blocks to get to anything that stays open late but it was definitely worth it. I would definitely stay at this hotel again!

ideal location for city business
I know the city quite well so the most important things were location and cleanliness. On both counts, this hotel satisfied.

Great service, amazing location
My boyfriend and I stayed here for three days, and we couldn't have been any happier. The hotel was about a block east of the Sears Tower and three blocks from all the primary L trains. We walked to Navy Pier, the Shedd Aquarium, and Michigan Avenue. We continuously marveled at how close the hotel was to everything. The next big plus about the hotel was the service. There was one employee in particular who gave us tips on where to eat, how to get to various locations, and what to see, and the rest of the staff was very helpful and kind. A few bonuses: the free water was a godsend. When you're in a city in which you walk a lot each day, it was nice to not have to purchase water at every corner. The hotel also had great security. You need your key to activate the elevators, and although it isn't in a scary district, it was a plus. The fitness center was adequate and the lounge, restaurant, and sitting areas were great. One disclaimer is that the rooms are small, but not inordinately so.

Not Applicable
We purchased the City Pass which ended up saving us a ton of money. It allows entry to the Shedd Aquarium, the Adler Planetarium, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Science and Industry & Omnimax, and the Sears Tower or the John Hancock Observatory, and some other primary locations. It was $69, and if you are planning on going to three of the above, you'll easily make money back. Additionally, it provides a fastpass to the front of lines sometimes. Another good hint is to purchase the city bus and L train pass. We got ours at the airport and used it constantly, easily saving $30. Some sites that we particularly enjoyed: The Field Museum and the Chicago Arts Institute.

Central Loop Hotel
Our trip to Chicago was just perfect. The Hotel was great, mostly because of its great location. The room was big and really nice. The only thing I have to criticize is that the sofa-bed was not really comfortable to sleep on

Good location and a good price
I have stayed at this hotel previously. It's convenient to train and bus stops as well as close to the Magnificent Mile. It's also close to Grant Park, Gold Coast and Lincoln Park. Very friendly staff, service was great and there's also a bar/restaurant on the other side of the hotel. The only drawbacks were no refrigerator or microwave in the room I had, but I really didn't need them. There's a 24-hour 7-11 right next door and several restaurants deliver late to the hotel, until prox 4 am, I believe later on weekends. It's also close to several restaurants. I would highly recommend this hotel and will probably stay there again myself.

Unbeatable deal when traveling solo
Let me preface this by saying that after getting such a good deal on this hotel, my expectations weren't particularly high (a hotel in The Loop that didn't cost an arm and a leg?! I wasn't expecting much). However, I was very pleasantly surprised: the hotel was very clean and modern with nice extras like free wireless internet, free bottled water, and a business center. Granted, the rooms are quite small, but as I was traveling alone, I found my room very comfortable, more than large enough, and it had all the features one might expect from a much larger room. The location is great in terms of being close enough to walk to many attractions and restaurants (others can easily be reached by train or taxi), but for that very same reason, expect to pay a good deal to park. My advice would be to take the cheaper route (self-park) even though it lacks in and out privileges--if you're not used to it, you probably don't want to be driving in downtown Chicago anyway (I'm from LA and even I found downtown traffic ridiculous). The staff at the Central Loop are rather hit or miss in terms of attitude: the people at the front desk were generally pleasant enough minus the woman who helped me check-in, who was quite impatient and brusque. Honestly, considering how pleasant the rest of my stay was for how little I paid, I'm not too bothered by a few grumpy employees. I can't comment on the restaurant as I didn't eat there: with so many other interesting restaurants so close by, I never felt inclined to eat in. All in all, I'd highly recommend the Central Loop hotel for anyone who's either traveling alone (especially on business as I got the feeling the hotel was catering toward the business traveler) or with one other companion and don't plan to spend a lot of time in the hotel room since the rooms are small. I'd certainly stay there next time I go to Chicago!

In Hotel
Unless you truly think you need to travel a long distance during your trip, do the self-park option for $20 a day instead of the $30 valet. At first I thought it'd be inconvenient not to have access to my car, but I quickly found that thanks to how reliable Chicago's public transit is, the sheer number of taxis crawling all over the city at all hours, and the fact that there are always a lot of people downtown so I always felt safe walking around, I had no need for my car. Granted, I'm from LA (a very car-centric city), but I was impressed with just how easy it is to get by without driving in Chicago and am therefore really glad I didn't spend extra money on the valet option.
