Overall, the place was ok. It was safe and very clean, though old style. The worst thing was there was a constant noise every morning around 4 am just outside the window of my room from someone loading heavy stuff on a truck or something. It was very loud. Every night it woke me up around that time. I stayed for 6 nights and didn’t have a good sleep even for one night. Other than that the place was clean with very basic things. I think it was a bit expensive for the overall experience. Later, I found that I could have rented a 1 bed apartment with all amenities for the same price.

Was going to give the property just two stars, but they’re in the middle of a slight remodel (not sure if the extent but we got a new tv in the room during our stay), so I feel like maybe I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that it’ll be less mediocre. That said, it’s about as low tech as you can get it the 21st century. The WiFi network didn’t even connect in our room. Old fixtures in the bathroom. No USB plugs. Just kinda meh, and the price reflects that.

Nice, clean property and room and comfortable beds. It is old school and very basic, but for the price in the area and free parking, it is fine. No frills, but clean and safe and that is most important

This is an older motel. It is very clean and it is great for staying a night or two. This is fairly close to The Riviera Theater and I will stay here again the next concert that I go to in Chicago.

Decent room, comfy bed, clean bathroom, good parking. Desk guy was a little brusque but not a big deal. Breakfast included should have been coffee included. The breakfast spread was dry cereal and instant oatmeal. But no utensils, bowls, milk or hot water anywhere to be found. No worries, there's an IHOP down the street.

Like a lot of reviews mentioned it is outdated, little to no amenities. A little scetchy about cleanliness, but ok for the price. Lots of lighting in car park which was good. Staff could be more welcoming. Clerk at check in was very rude and short of patience. But overall ok for the price. Not noisy. Ease of getting Uber/lyft.

We had a great stay. It was just for 1 night after a concert at Wrigley Field. Heart O Chicago is an older hotel but it was very clean and close to public transportation. If your not familiar with big city neighborhoods you may say the neighborhood is bad but it's truly not. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat

The location was great in walking distance to red line. The price was great and it was really clean. The interiors are dated and television. For the price as expected. Parking was free which is a bonus. The service was rude. The continental breakfast was a joke

The hotel room had only one window and it directly faced a walkway for other people staying at the hotel. The choice of either privacy or daylight. It would’ve been nice to have a share curtain so you could still have daylight and privacy. The air conditioner did not seem to work during my stay.

I've stayed here multiple times, and would return again. Lovely staff, clean old school rooms, and walkable. If you're looking for more bells and whistles (there's no fridge, pool, or Netflix), this place isn't for you. But if want a place that feels like it's run by family, give it a try.

Stayed for 2 nights when in town for Cubs games. The room was ok. No continental breakfast as advertised. No coffee on site. No fridge or microwave in room. The staff member I checked in with was rude and angry. The plus was it was an easy drive to anywhere we needed to go and parking was free. You could definitely do better, but you could do worse.

The check in was a comical fiasco. The completely overwhelmed clerk was arguing with 2 other walk in people when I arrived about their rooms. Months ago I had requested a non smoking double room on first floor. After a flurry of key exchanges I ended up in a smoking room. Very unpleasant.

This hotel is neat and clean but the room we had needs a major overhaul. The beds both felt like they came over on the Mayflower and the hand towels/washcloths were basically sand paper. Also, would it be so difficult to put up a few hooks on the walls for towels and toiletry bags? I saw another reviewer mention this and it would be a cheap and effective upgrade to the functionality of the bathroom. Our sink plug was down and drained at a trickle so that was interesting to navigate through also. I live off grid in a school bus with better functioning plumbing fixtures. However, for the price when compared to other hotels in the area, I’d stay here again even if they didn’t upgrade one thing. So, you’ve got that going for you, Heart O Chicago. Thanks for a cheap and clean stay for the DNC.
