10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay that is friendly and clean!!
Kimberly, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Solid motel of yesteryear, I'd strongly recommend you bring along ear plugs or just turn on the fan for background (white) noise. Houskeeping A+ every day.
Jeffrey, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

If you want to stay in a motel right out of the 1950’s, this is the place for you!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Although this property is centrally located, especially for meeting with relatives, it has seen better days as witnessed by the non-smoking room that recalled of an ash tray. If you crave an old motel in a scary neighborhood this place is for you.
Edward, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall an average stay. Comfy enough, ended up being put in a different room than we booked since they didn’t have any nonsmoking double beds rooms left. Breakfast was basically nonexistent which wasn’t a big deal. Just know there’s only cereal and oatmeal lol Bed was fine, tv worked and bathroom got the job done. The free parking was very nice! Kind of just a sketchy vibe since it’s a motel but safe enough! Got what we paid for and we’re happy about that :)
Emma, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Walking into my room was like walking into a typical movie set. The room as spacious, smelled nice and as clean and organized. It's location leads itself to a loud outside and the blackout curtains did help with the morning light.

Had super clean windows and guy at front desk seemed cool. Not as u
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Exactly what I needed for my stint in Chicago - a clean bed, good shower and a safe place to leave my car. The only issue was check out - at 11, but my room card stopped working at 930. But I was allowed back in easy enough. Thank you!!
Gwenllian, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

This is the fourth time I have stayed at the Heart O' Chicago. The rooms have some wear and tear but, they are always clean and we haven't had any issues. Love that I can walk anywhere. Plus, if you are attending an event that is train accessible - you can walk the two blocks to the brand new train station and leave the car behind (and save 60 dollars in parking downtown). One downside - the breakfast is a joke. Cereal and apples - that was it. Sad. There are many good places to eat in the area and rather than paying the 3 dollar charge for vending machine water - I walked into the neighborhoods and picked up some items at a local store.
Ryan, 2-night trip

Great place to stay
Michelle, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I’d rather not comment on this motel the only positive I can comment is the front desk staffs are nice that’s all.
gian, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The best thing is free parking. No heat. Given space heater to use.
John, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Good value with parking but not glam. Clean but stuffy smell.
Barbara, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Check-in staff was abrupt and rude. Another potential customer even left and went to a different motel/hotel. This same staff member was more pleasant on check-out.
Shannon, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

My husband could not breath freely m the smell in the room we didn’t stay
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very close to work location. The updates that have been made are nice.
Robyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great budget choice

Great price, parking, chill and nothing shady going on. Felt safe. Beds were comfy and the room was clean.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Always a pleasure to stay here, never any issues
Brian, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

I booked a non smoking room and they only had smoking left so they clearly don't honor specific reservations I didn't have time to go somewhere else so I had to live with it. I was there hours past when checkin starts but they didn't even have the room clean. The window opened but didn't have a screen so it was hard to attempt to minimize the smoke smell. Bed was extremely uncomfortable Parking being included was nice
Kai, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Front desk closed for over 3 hours in the afternoon. Heat, didn’t get above 63. Terribly noisy traffic intersection.
