We stayed at the Red Roof because we were directed there by a wedding planner. One who must never have visited the site. From a distance the price seemed reasonable for the area, so we booked a room. Where to begin. The elevator: one broken, the other on its way out. The management had the really bad sense to tell... more

My boyfriend and I were attending a wedding taking place on Michigan Avenue the weekend of May 17th, 2008. The groom of the wedding advised us that The Red Roof Inn would be perfect since it was only a 2 blocks away from where the wedding was and it is in such a prime location (a block away from Michigan... more

The Red Roof is one small block from the main shopping street, Michigan Avenue, and therefore good for a number of shops. Unfortunately it's not close to any subway stop, so you may find yourself taking advantage of one of the many taxis which pass the hotel. Our room was comfortable, with TV, iron/ironboard, hair dryer and air conditioner (although... more

Visited Chicago from Cleveland with a group of friends. We stayed at the Red Roof 5/08-5/10/2008. The hotel was ok. The rooms could use some updating or maybe a good scrubbing. We had a corner room and a wonderful view. Our group was all on the same floor. The shower was clogged, called the front desk and they had someone... more

My friend booked a room in this hotel for us to share while in Chicago for a recent conference. And I'll admit, I was a bit worried after reading some of the comments on this and other sites. But I was very pleased with the hotel, the staff, The LOCATION, and the security. This hotel is NOT a luxury or... more

website stated was recently renovated but was not. carpet was stained and filthy. We had a room on the 16th floor and there were ants in the room. There was mildew/mold in the shower. Housekeeping did not make the beds, they changed towels and did nothing else. We talked with the manager on the phone and he said he would... more

Clean room, TV, microwave, mini fridge, desk, comfy bed, clean bathroom. For the price and location its worth the stay. The hallways are narrow (so what) and the elevators are pretty tiny and can be slow, but you don't spend your time in elevators and hallways, its the room that counts. There's a Trader Joe's down Ontario about 3 blocks... more

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the Red Roof Inn, Chicago and have to say the location is fantastic for the price. One block from Michigan Avenue and within easy reach of Navy Pier, John Hancock Tower and other sites. As other reviewers have said the rooms are quite small but if you only need a place to... more

We took a group of teenagers from our church for a "senior trip" for the weekend. Luckily we only stayed one night at this hotel because we did not enjoy our stay. The rooms were small and had a very bad musty smell. The elevator is the smallest I've ever seen and can only hold about 2-3 people with luggage.... more
