Efficiency and a great location
I stayed at the Travelodge while visiting the city for a convention. The room was simple in the furnishing, and nothing too special overall. However, the staff make this hotel worth staying at if your in downtown Chi and need simple accommodations at a reasonable (comparatively) price. The staff were very friendly and were willing to go out of their way to make the stay a comfortable as possible. I also got breakfast to go from the cafe connected to the hotel several times and it hit the spot.
