Stayed at Inn of Chicago for 5 nights in October 2011 for business. The best description I can provide is, "You get what you pay for." The hotel was clean, but old. I reserved a king room, but when I arrived they stated they did not have any. The rooms were small and the bathroom tiny. Ended up in a room with two full size beds. (I do not believe thay have any double queen rooms because the rooms are too small.) The bathroom sink was 12"x12" with no counter space. The rooms have individual window heat/AC that has an electronic temp. control that kinda works. Set it at 70 once and an hour later it was 74 in the room???
The first day the tub did not drain at all. Stood in 4 inches of water at end of shower, a half hour later there was still 3 inches of water in tub. Called housekeeping and it was fixed that day. Friday night I was awakened at 2am as the bar across the street closed and 25-30 people partied for the next hour. Street noise was very loud.
A co-worker in another room came back to his room after the next day to find his key card not working. The front desk stated he had checked out??? It took him 30 minutes to convince the clerk (the same one who checked him in the day before) that his room was pre-paid for 5 nights and all his belongings were still in the room. What was that all about?
The front desk was helpful and polite, and the bellman was helpful with a cab when needed. The hotel is one block off Michigan Ave (Shopping) and there are lots of places to eat in the area. The hotel is also a short walk (1/2 mile) to the Navy Pier. It is a great place to visit and shop.
I would not stay here again. I would pay a little more and stay at the Marriott or Sheraton nearby.
