Pluses are: 1) the location if you want to be centered near the popular Andersonville area 2) under $100 for a clean room (and not a "hooker motel") in Chicago is pretty good 3) the free parking with easy in/out (we've stayed at many popular hotels in the northside of Chicago but have always had to deal with valets or...

I was in town for Riot Fest in early October 2011 and stayed at the Heart o' Chicago for 5 nights. I can echo the positive comments from all of these reviews and dismiss the few negative ones simply by stating-- this ain't the Ritz-Carlton, so what did you expect? Yes, the last renovation was probably in the 80s but... More

We were visiting for parents' weekend at DePaul. The two other hotels we've stayed at in the past were sky high ($190 or more per night). We decided to give this one a try. While it wasn't the worst hotel by far, there were enough negatives for us that we probably won't stay there again. In fact, if we'd been... More

My motto for my stay at Heart o' Chicago would be «Dont worry, be happy». It is indeed a good motel for the money you pay. I was at this establishment for 5 nights as a base to visit Chicago. The welcome at the reception is not very warm but I got over it. The breakfast is ok: coffee and... More

I have stayed at this motel several times over the years and most recently last week. When I visit Chicago I usually meet a friend and we spend the night hitting the clubs in the Halstead street area. We have been staying at this motel not because it is anything fancy but because of it's location and it is one... More

Family owned Motel takes you back in time to the 1950's or 60's. It's a very well kept place and Clean. You open the door and you can smell the use of bleach and pledge. It's not overwhelming but it's very clean. The paneling has been painted but the look is a back in time experience our bathroom was all... More

I don't understand everyone bad-mouthing the free breakfast. The fruit, oatmeal, donuts, coffee, and juice are standard "continental breakfast" fare, which you will receive at most of the hotels in the area, including the $300/night hotels. Anyway, my boyfriend and I found this gem while I was searching for hotels within the city limits that wouldn't require us to apply... More

Came in to Chicago from NY to catch the Yankee game at Wrigley. I booked this place in May because of the price and it is near the area my family is at. We checked in on Thursday the 16th of June and the gentleman at the front desk was not able to find my reservation, I knew there would... More

My boyfriend and I decided that we would take a vacation and follow the Yankees for 2 weeks and catch 14 ballgames. After a week in NY, we came to chicago for 3 nights. Reviews from this website said it was clean, and knowing we would only be in the room to sleep, that was the important thing. The hotel... More

We stayed at the Heart O' Chicago on a Saturday night because we had to be up early Sunday morning for an activity at Montrose Beach and our daughter lives in Andersonville. Easily booked a room over the phone. Good location near Clark, Ashland, and Broadway. Staff was friendly. Good basic continental breakfast. Room was very clean. Easy checkout. Nothing... More
