We asked for a non-smoking room. The first night, we were in a non-designated smoking room which they said was non-smoking. It had a shared door with the room next door. The walls were thin and the people in the adjoining room talked all night and smoked, with the smoke leaking under the door into our room. The next morning,... More

I stayed here my second time a while ago and have been pleased both times. The motel seems trapped in the 50s but in a very pleasant, quaint way. The rooms are clean, quiet,and comfortable, and a bargain at 80something dollars. Amenities are few ( wi-fi, a free breakfast, free parking). But if all you want is a place to... More

We were going to see the Neo-Futurists on North Ashland, and wanted a nearby motel so we wouldn't have to drive far late at night. Found Heart O' Chicago and decided to try it based on good reviews. It's a motel from the 1960's with no updates but very clean and inviting. The bathroom has vintage fixtures and hardware, a... More

This couldn't have been more convenient for us. It's an 'old' motel, but the rooms are very clean and almost vintage....where else can you find a sunny yellow bathroom....? It's on a busy street but we were unaware of any noise, and slept well. Check-in person was a delight; the fellow was friendly and helpful ! The ONLY negative was... More

My husband and I have stayed here a few times over the last ten years, most recently in September 2012 to attend a game at Wrigley Field. Accommodations are very basic but clean and comfortable. Free parking is nice and public transportation is easily accessible. No in-room iron or hair dryer or even little bottle of shampoo so be sure... More

I was in chicago to see the White Sox and the Cubs play. I was a little nervous about this place, but once I checked in and saw my room, it was fine. The guy that checked us in, was very friendly and funny. Made jokes with us the whole time. When we got to our room it was clean... More

My family friends and I had the unfortunate opportunity to stay in this hotel. To begin with the first room we were given didn't have air conditioning - it was broken. The next room they gave us the air conditioning wasn't much better. The room was average, but the price and location was good, so we decided to put up... More

If budget is your primary concern, this is the place for you. When in Chicago, I usually stay at Days Inn Chicago on Diversey & Clark (better location than Heart), but they were completely booked. We stayed between July 3 - 10, 2012. Having read several reviews for various places near to Halstead & Clark, I decided to take a... More

Stayed here on arrival in Chicago. The place is a little out of town but probably one of the cheapest places you will find. It was decent enough for the money as long as you don't expect luxury, the bed was comfy enough, the bathroom was passable. The electrics were a little bit ropey but I guess they call that... More
