"The facilities inside were quite good, but there were a lot of homeless people right outside the door. The shampoo provided didn't lather up well. The room was spacious and all beds had lockers; you need to bring your own padlock or go down to the front desk to buy one – it's a large locker, so a bigger padlock is needed. I stayed in a 10-person dorm. The shared bathrooms are outside the room; there are two toilets and two showers, one of which is quite spacious. They are separated by gender. It's quite close to the city center, so getting anywhere is easy, with subway or bus access readily available."

The location is good not far from the metro and walkable distance to downtown. The main problem for our stay was the very cold weather. Good stay."

"The one thing that disappointed me was there is no staff after 8 p.m., so there's no way to enforce the quiet hours after 11:30 pm/midnight. There were three very noisy Vietnamese guests making loud noise until 2:30 am, leaving the door to the dormitory open with lights on, and for a traveller with no US SIM card, it was impossible to phone anybody.
I know the infrastructure can't be changed, but more bathrooms or separated toilets and showers would be nice,"

"A motel like this is great in downtown Chicago with no parking spaces. It takes 15 minutes to walk from Cloud Gate. It was cold and windy when we went there, so it was quite a long journey. But if you can travel by car, it's great to come back without worrying about the parking space! The hotel is very clean, all the staff are of Mexican descent, but the attitude is generally friendly, that is, the front desk calls me every evening, once saying that the car is not correct, once saying that there is no parking coupon, because the phone really does not understand, I have to run The front desk used translation software to figure it out. There is a huge McDonald's nearby, as well as a small grocery store, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. The nearby hotels are also very popular, and there are also resident performances, and the level is also very high."

"Slight issues with the door, which had to be jammed on to be fully closed. Had to squash two bugs immediately upon arrival. Certain features such as the drawer on the nightstand to the right side of the bed were in poor condition. However, all features worked the way they should. Enjoyed proximity to Skokie and Uptown. Very professional and diligent office staff, with one employee in particular who worked hard to resolve technical issue with check-in."

We had a great stay at Parthenon Guest House! The restroom facilities were very clean, and having 3 showers and 2 toilets for the women’s area was a huge plus—it really helped avoid any long waits in the morning. The room was just the right size for the four of us, cozy but comfortable. We also enjoyed the common area, which had a nice vibe and was a good space to relax. The staff were all friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with anything we needed. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-maintained place to stay!
Surprisingly, there is a free shuttle bus for late night flights! Other facilities, such as hygiene, bedding, breakfast, etc., are pretty good near the airport. However, parking is charged!
The hotel is located in the relatively dangerous South Side area, so I was extremely careful when going out at night. Additionally, it's an hour away from downtown, so I thought it might be a little difficult to get to. However, I was very pleased with the amenities provided in the room, such as a refrigerator, microwave, two beds, a shower room, towels, and air conditioning. However, please be aware of safety and accessibility issues.
