Liked: Cleanliness
Well located for Hyde Park. Refurbished old motel was OK and clean, but there was no hair dryer, place to hang clothes, or luggage rack, and one thin blanket on the bed. Frig, microwave, and coffee OK. Only needed one night stay but would not use for a longer stay.

Pleasant surprise

Booked here for the Chicago marathon and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel given the not so nice reviews. Place is clean and well maintained. Got a room with 2 double beds and room is very spacious. Even had a mini ref and microwave. Got coffees and teas as well. Restroom had a tub and ample supply of toiletries. Ice dispenser is available at the floor as well. Breakfast is decent. Will stay here again if I’m in the area.

lower cost booking with Best Western perks

The Chicago Lake Shore Hotel served worked well for my wife and I while in town for Lollapalooza. Bus/train stop is just a 9 minute walk away. This hotel is run by the same people as the Best Western next to it and that is where you’ll find your amenities like ice, hot morning breakfast, and any late night candy craving. Be sure to put out your “do not disturb” sign if you want to sleep in as house keeping likes to get to work early. No fridge and microwave in rooms but great A/C and hot water. For best experience try to get a top floor unit so you don’t have to hear everyone coming in and out. There is also an EV charger located in the Best Western portion of the property. No pool available but the lake is right there.

It was great. Staff was nice. The room was clean and the hallways had great photos of the city which made it feel more safe and comfortable. The breakfast was great, nice large and comfortable lobby area with view of the water. Nice neighborhood close to the college so lots of great restaurants were just a 10-15 min walk away. Felt safe even at night

This is an older 2 story property with great big refinished rooms with lake views. Daily attention to room turndown excellent! Front desk staff very nice. Location is wonderful with the highway close, biking path and water close, food a short walk, and museums a short drive. Parking is free. Downside is part of the property is defunct with an empty pool, unused cafe and unused conference bldg. no elevator, no ice machine and poor shower pressure. A great price and memorable stay for us and would gladly come again!!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Amenities are nothing like what was shown on Expedia. The entire complex appears to have been abandon or is the process of being abandoned. I saw several rooms on the property that appeared to have been half-way in construction attached to properties that appeared to have been abandoned. The room gives you cups and an ice container but there are no ice-machines on the property. Rooms were just okay, nothing impressive. Lighting could be better. Television systems had poor reception and couldn’t use chrome cast despite the TV’s own function. Property could stand to be more upfront of its current status of development.
