I booked this hotel for a total of eight days in mid-to-late June when I needed to come to Chicago for an operation. The room they gave me (twice - on either side of the surgery) was large and clean; it had both a refrigerator and a microwave. The bathroom alone was larger than some hotel rooms I have stayed in. Everything worked properly and the bed was comfortable (important for a recuperating surgical patient). The staff were friendly and informative. There is wireless internet capability in the rooms and a dedicated terminal in the lobby for those who need web access but don't have a laptop. There were perhaps five restaurants and three stores very nearby (one to two blocks), and Chicago's metro rail system was accessible a block away. I don't know how anyone could rate this a bad hotel; my stay was wonderful, and I'll definitely book again if ever need to go back to Chicago. By the way, the Hilton is about two blocks away - in the "bad direction" - and their prices were $ignificantly higher... I highly recommend the Travelodge.
