Essex hotel guide. Hostelling International hotel in Essex, Chicago

"Hotel was dated and old. It had some charm, but elevator was scary slow and they had to turn off the water while I was there. Definitely needs some renovation..."

"The hotel was so clean and everyone was friendly! Great location!"

"Room was cold. Heat in the room did not work. Small rooms."

"Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The room and bathroom were small but clean and comfortable. The curtains did have small stains on them. The TV only had cable and there was no way to cast content from my phone onto the TV. "

"The room was a little small, but fit my needs on a 3 day business trip. The bar downstairs served a limited breakfast... And had free fruit, and Coffee in the morning. The staff was extremely friendly, and very attentive to guests. In summary I would stay here again on business."

"Very small room"

"Our go to hotel when visiting Chicago! It’s centrally located and has everything we need at a hotel! Will definitely come back!"
