We were a bit perplexed on where to stay while visiting Chicago. This hotel had above average reviews and reasonable room prices. It was probably the best choice that we could have made. The hotel is near everything in the city. Whether it be shopping or the Willis Tower. We had a rental car, but were able to get a $22.00 per night parking deal through the hotel at a nearby parking station. If you are a bit claustrophobic, then the rooms of this hotel may not be for you, but realistically, we only used the room to sleep in, so it was no problem at all. Friendly staff, clean rooms.....it's all good. I would certainly recommend this hotel and would have no hesitation in staying again should I visit the 'Windy City'.

Central Loop Hotel is a remodeled old building in the heart of Chicago's financial district. Don't be confused - it's NOT along the Gold Coast's retail Magnificent Mile!The hotel has a very small lobby but its lower level meeting place is great for coffee & gathering - at no addt'l charges. Work-out facilities are basic. Bottled water available on every floor near the elevators.The hotel has utilized every possible square foot into as many rooms as possible. So, the rooms are quite small - esp. the studios. Only the suites are the size of conventional chains' double queen size standards.If you're in the Windy City for a quick stop over that has nothing to do w/ your hotel space, it's okay - only if you do advanced booking! Otherwise you'll be scalped w/ outrageous rates and Central's little spaces.The rooms are clean.Valet parking is great - $35/day unltd access.Personnel at the Central Loop is friendly and helpful. There is no 'snobbish' feel to the place.There is NO shuttle service to/from airports.Central Loop Hotel can be an 'okay' place to stay in the heart of the city on a limited budget.

I stayed here for 3 nights while sightseeing. The room was a little small but clean and had all the standard things you expect from a hotel like this - one odd thing was that the iron & ironing board were not in the room but in a closet in the hallway which guests had access to. This wasn't an inconvenience as the closet was close to the room and extra provisions for the coffee pot in the room were also in the closet. The staff were friendly and professional and the lobby was welcoming and a good spot to sit and wait when meeting people. The exercise room was adequate but some equipment could stand to be replaced.The most noteworthy benefit of this hotel is its location which is excellent for touring the city by foot, if you like walking and the weather is nice. I was able to walk to the Sears Tower, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Grant Park, and the Navy Pier; albeit some of these are long walks for some. There's a CTA (subway) stop about a block away (the Jackson station) which made getting between the airport and the hotel simple and only costs $5 each way!

I stayed for 4 night from Sun - Thu. Nothing much to complain about.My room was clean and everything works.What best about this hotel is its location. I am able to walk to subway no problem.Also it's just 5 blocks away from my seminar. BIG plus to me :)Only a little downside is there's no available power outlet around my bed but that's about it.I would recommend for anyone who has to commute to downtown for a business trip.

My overall experience at this hotel was positive but there were some problems.Pros: Very friendly staff,centrally located,chilled water bottle service was nice, extra towels, pillows, blankets available on every floor. Very low price for downtown Chigago.Cons: Room was very small, we reserved a "suite" the room was smaller than most single hotel rooms. I was supposed to have a pull out sofa. What it had was a pull out chair. The room was so small that if the chair was extented it was impossibe to walk through the room from bed to bathroom.
