Old Chicago Inn

One of the worst places I've ever stayed in -- there's a reason it's cheaper than other places. This is not cute or friendly like an actual B&B, it's just a cheap place to stay that calls itself one. The room was filled with dust and smelled musty. The bedsheets were old and well-used, with the pillows clearly yellowed from previous guests. The towels were dirty. The "innkeeper" is openly hostile. The "breakfast" is a joke. Only plus is the location and the fact that it was relatively quiet. Avoid if you can afford to at all.

we didn't get room 13, we had room 3A. We were put off by the description that the bathroom was across the hall. There's no doubt that this is a bit of a quirky old place. But it was also comfortable and was very convenient for DePaul University. It was also more affordable than other hotels we saw in the city. The room was large, the bed was comfortable. Fred, is a kind helpful guy. The floors creak, there is no elevator. Sirens from the traffic outside seem to come from inside the room. Breakfast, is not a real positive, unless you like pre-packaged items with high sugar and high carbs (yogurt and bananas are also provided).
