I was in Chicago mid-November on a business trip. In an attempt to save our company a little coin, my colleague and I booked our stay at the Chinatown Hotel. We thought we would give it the old college try and maybe discover a hidden gem. Wrong. Things to know about the Chinatown Hotel: 1) They DO NOT accept American... More

I advice you to stay away from this "hotel" (hostel) at all cost. I was in Chicago for a few days in August 2011 and stayed here. First off there is no elevator and the staircases are dark. and scary. When I got to my room, it looked like the room wasn't cleaned in years,the carpret was stained, the walls... More

It's in a great location. Chinatown Hotel is close to the loop and public transportation is easily accessible. The red line train stop is just a few minutes away. There are many, many great restaurants close by which makes dining easy. The staff is friendly and helpful. Of course you shouldn't be expecting a luxurious stay, but for the price,... More

We chose Chinatown Hotel for its price ($80 with taxes included), cheap parking ($10 for 24 hours), and location (just a few stops on the red line from the Loop). The neighborhood... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights 09-12-2011 and unfortunlately was reminded in part of a real flophouse I stayed in Miami in December 1977. Clearly the operators of the Chinatown Hotel do the minimum and little else. I rented a "suite" for myself and a friend, and even a very experienced traveler like myself was surprised to find... More
