"SUPER recommend staying here for a cheap option in Chicago! As a solo female traveler I stayed in the single room w/attached half-bath. It was clean and quiet and I felt totally safe. There's even free breakfast here! It is about a 12-min walk from the Fullerton station (Red, Brown, and Purple lines), which is a bit far out of the city center, but the location is more than worth it for the price."

"Perfect location for our needs. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was ok. The wonderful service from Robyn in the front lobby was amazing! She greets everyone with a smile, even though it is crazy busy at the desk with the breakfast crowd, she answers the phone, registers & checks out guests, provides receipts, helps with the luggage storage..,she is one amazing woman! I truly hope Hampton Inn recognizes what an asset she is to the hotel and company!! Thanks Robyn!"
