Chicago Avenue Inn

I booked a reservation for three people and they gave me a tiny room with two bunk beds plus I was not aware we were going to share the space with other guests. This place is very terrible, don't waste your money here.

Using Expedia, I signed up for five nights at this hotel. The immediate reply was one night for the fourth night. I know that this place to stay never gives refunds, but I gave it a try. I did explain that I had found four other nights to stay. I also explained that I was totally aware that your statement says you never give refunds but because I thought the one out of four day reservation was your mistake and you might possibly give me a refund for that one day. Quite a few times I got a phone call from a number I was unaware of and that number never left a message. I’m not into SPAM. I came back from Chicago yesterday, July 23. I did answer that number. The woman was concerned that “we” hadn’t heard from me. She had no idea that I wouldn’t show up. I repeated to her what I’ve just written above and all she could say repeatedly was “we” never received the message that I wasn’t coming. My response was, “why do you care that despite not knowing if I slept in that room you’re getting my money and that room stayed untouched, as clean as before, so no problem to you. Continue trying to have a suitable and recommended place to stay. Cheers!

Overall it was a decent stay. I would come again… it was a little inconvenient considering I didn’t speak Spanish.

had a really great experience staying at this property! I booked it very last minute, but everything went incredibly smoothly thanks to the host’s excellent communication. The check-in process was simple and stress-free—clear instructions were sent in advance, and the self check-in system worked perfectly. The location is convenient, just a short walk from the bus stop and around 20–30 minutes to get into downtown, which made it easy to explore the city while still staying in a quiet and peaceful area. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-maintained the space was. Everything looked spotless and felt fresh, which made a big difference after a long journey. The place was also thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed—plenty of amenities that made the stay comfortable and hassle-free. Overall, I had a really nice stay and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and easy-to-access accommodation. Would happily stay here again!

A bit far from downtown

The rooms are like closets. The area is in a bad area. No off street parking. The beds were falling apart, no air conditioning, and only one very dirty fan for any relief. Overall avoid at all costs.

The area, the contract

The inside was clean and decent.

The location was in a very very bad part of town. When expressing safety concerns and leaving the property to find another property, I was told it was not possible to get my money back (except $4) for having already checked in and not canceling before 14 days. I understand cancelation policies, but when safety is an issue I feel like it should be different.
