South Side, Chicago hotel rooms at the Independent

"Parking was easy, right outside the door. The room was nice. The pillow was unnecessarily HARD. I was asked for a $300 deposit via Venmo with the promise of it being returned and it was not returned. Tried to ask when I'd see it back and I have not received any replies after two weeks. DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE AS LEGIT. "

"Fantastic stay - nothing special about the hotel although nothing bad about it - what I lived was the location - very close to McCormick Place - I was in Chicago for a conference so that was good - and right I. Chinatown- so many great places to eat"

"Staff was excellent,room cleaning was the best "

"There are only two reasons to choose this hotel: its low price and its location—a 10-minute walk to the city train. Other than that, it falls short in many areas: poor management, understaffing (one person seems to handle everything), lack of attention to refilling breakfast items, weak wifi, and non-standard blankets and pillows, to name a few."

"the tub was nasty and filthy a ring a black ring around the tub and towel. the room wasn't touched at all. the bathroom didn't had property lighting in it at all. the rug was filthy and nasty. the air conditioner was molded inside dusty and dirty. black mold around the room and big cockroach bugs in the room. I want a full refund of my stay I would never visit a filthy motel this filthy motel ever again."

"Everything was great, except that my room was near the front desk, and at night I could hear the front desk attendants talk and I could hear them in my room really loud. Loud enough to wake me up and not let me sleep. "

"Their website says it's pet friendly, which is completely false. There was no point in having pillows since they're almost as flat as the actual bed. Props to their ac, works great. There was nobody there to receive keys when I went in. It was an ok stay, but them not taking pets was infuriating."

"Easy downtown access . Friendly staff ."

"The atmosphere was amazing "
