Hidden Gem
I’m calling the Ohio House Motel the hidden gem of Chicago! Excellent location to walk to many of the tourist attractions. The room was incredibly clean, beds comfortable and the best hotel shower I’ve experienced. The front staff were incredible and so friendly. I will return the next time I’m i. Chicago.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to stay in the Chicago area. The rooms are clean and the staff is always welcoming. It's a nice place to stay on the north side of the river.

Too cold
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, the only issue I encountered was the inability to control the room temperature, which was a bit of a problem for me.

Very clean, very good area & the room
Is pretty big. Only thing you need to keep in mind is that is a busy area so there’s plenty of noice at night.
