Chinatown Hotel is a decent budget option in a great location, right in the heart of Chinatown. It is a very interesting place in a neat and safe neighborhood, close to public transit, food, boba tea, and desserts. The price is very reasonable and well-priced for Chicago, making it a cheaper option to stay in the city without spending a lot of money. The rooms are small, basic, old, outdated, and slightly worn. They are mostly clean and relatively clean to a certain extent, but some items like a headboard, towel rack, or toilet paper holder may be broken. The rooms are comfortable enough for sleeping, though some guests would not sleep in the bed. There are no amenities like in-room microwaves, coffeemakers, refrigerators, or face towels; these are only available in the lobby. The shower is notably poor, described as the worst hotel shower. The staff is very kind, friendly, and helpful. They are accommodating, having allowed an early check-in and gone out of their way to return forgotten belongings. Overall, it is not fancy and a little old and tattered, but it works for a short stay. It is a spot just to lay your head at night if you plan to be out all day, and you get what you pay for.
The hotel is fair enough to the price but you will be satisfied. And it is really good location.

Its a place to say and to enjoy the culture. Parking lot around the corner best place I found to park.

Decent and what was expected. Wouldn't sleep in bed. The desk in the room was helpful, sat and caught up on emails. I did shower, I literally jumped out.
