Here for a show. Two blocks away so location was fantastic. Close by to fantastic eats. Will definitely be returning if ever back to this part of town. Thx
PAID EXTRA FOR THE KING SUITE WITH A VIEW. AT 6AM, EVERY ONE WAS AWOKEN WITH CRAZY LOUD DRUMMING. COULD HAVE SWORN IT WAS SOMEONE OUTSIDE ON THE STREET WITH A BUCKET AND DRUM STICKS... NOPE. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE RESTUARANT LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW OUR ROOM ATTACHED TO THE LOBBY BUILDING. WORST NIGHT SLEEP OF OUR NIGHTS, NOT TO MENTION THE RANDOM CAR HORNS... THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SOUND PROOFING IN THAT ROOM. LEFT MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER WITH THE FRONT DESK SO THE HOTEL MANAGER COULD CALL ME WITH SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION... IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND NO REPLY. NO EXCUSES FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE.
Place & location ok. It's only the black molds, or algae in the shower not cleaned up & carpet is already very old & dirty. The spring in the bed is squeeking when you sit on the bed. But just fine for an overnight stay to those who are not so particular.
It was good overall. No complaints. Good location, breakfast was good with free parking :)
The good: free parking, good location. The bad: The toilet became clogged, which the front office staff informed me was a common occurrence. They then did not bring a plunger but forced me to go down and get it. Then it started raining and water came pouring into the room through the window, quickly forming a puddle on the floor. When I informed the front office of the water pouring into our room through the window they made no effort to address the situation other than saying they may be able to send someone in the morning. All in all I would not recommend this hotel, especially since you don't really need a car in Chicago and can just walk, use public transit, or Uber.
The staff was very polite and very nice everything was well however my room was Aunt infested they were in my bed all over the floor all over the dresser it was a mess nevertheless I must say the staff was exceptionally nice
Enjoyed my stay it was convient to the places we wanted to visit the staff were excellent and personable especially loved the parking (it was free).
It's not a 5 star hotel but it is a 5 star experience for 3 star motel. Clean. Good location. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Nice tub, shower. Near great restaurants. Good price. It is in the heart of a busy district! Don't expect quiet.
Check-in was a little slow, but the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is older, but clean. The rooms are comfortable and fairly roomy. The one thing that I didn't like was the room temperature is controlled by the front desk. The temperature was fine in our room, but my mother's room became very chilly in the morning. We are used to a king bed, so the queen seemed small. We appreciated the microwave and fridge-freezer. The shower was good. No breakfast was available. There appeared to be a restaurant at the hotel, but it was closed for the weekend. Very basic hotel.
Chose for free parking which can be good but only 30 spaces for 50 rooms, so no guarantee. The staff is very pleasant, but despite repeated attempts, could not control the room temperature which is only available to the front desk, so we had a very cold night (around 66 degrees).
Enjoyed the experience. Close to restaurants. Grocery store nearby. Some rooms still allow smoking.
The check-in was fast, and the hotel staff was pleasant. The room was clean, though we had a view of the wall of the building next door. Surprisingly, we couldn't hear the noise from the outside. The location is great, it's only 3 blocks from L, and you can walk everywhere from the hotel. The only thing I didn't like was that you cannot control temperature in your room. You have to call the reception to adjust the temperature, and I was constantly cold. I called them once, they adjusted the temperature but then they lowered it again.
The Ohio House is in a great location, has cool mid-century building, but certainly shows the wear from years of use. Everyone was nice and the rooms were clean but don't expect a boutique hotel experience.
Nice place in the middle of downtown. Really economic, on a convenient location. With free parking for tenants. Will definitely consider staying here on my next visit to chicago. 10/10.
It's location is good but there's nothing special about it. It served its purpose. Small rooms and dated. We were allowed to keep our car parked there for the day and for that I am thankful. Staff was nice.
The hotel has a great location - is close to the Magnificent mile. The free parking is really nice. The check-in and check-out process was easy. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. It is not a luxury place, but very nice for a motel.
This was the best location of a hotel I've ever stayed in Chicago! Perfect for a quick night out on the town! Loved the staff. Room wasn't mind blowingly beautiful but it was very vintage. Can't wait to go back
The room looked new, the bed was comfortable, and the location is walkable to everything down town Chicago has to offer.
Didn't know what to expect from a motel in the middle of downtown chicago, but got a very kempt old building with free parking for the first car and a room withing walking distance of Al's Italian Beef, Rock and Roll Mcdonalds, and Portillos, Three of Chicago's most noticeable restaurants. Price was great for the location. Just really old...
