Great bargain - user review
If you need to be close to the University of Chicago Hospital, this is the place to stay. While it is definitely not a luxury hotel, the rooms were clean and the staff were very accomodating. The direct shuttle to the hospital was "worth it's weight in gold" to us, and Gordon, the driver, ...

Needed some repairs - user review
As some of the other reviewers have noted, this hotel was pretty old. The closet light was turned on using the pull string hanging from the ceiling, and the bathroom ceiling was in need of patching from the lack of an exhaust fan. It was a little warm as well, since the air conditioner wasn't workin...

Economy with some sacrifice - user review
Check in was uneventful. The room was average, but the heatng control was on blast with no adjustment; I opened the windows to bring room temperature to a comfortable level. No room service menu in the room; no room service menu at the front desk. The restaurant is located next door and the service ...

Nearly anything else would have been better - user review
Do not stay at this hotel if you... 1) want to be remotely close to anything, including downtown Chicago. 2) think the free shuttle is a valuable asset (its departure times are extremely limited.) 3) enjoy staying in a well maintained facility. Nothing is cared for at this facility, including its ex...

Hotel shuttle service left us (with an infant and sick elderly man) stranded in the rain, on a very cold night. One member of party ran to catch up with shuttle bus and caught him just 1/2 block from pickup point but driver refused to return for pick up. Calls to hotel brought no help although no ta...

Great Value in Chicago - user review
I recently spent a very pleasant night at the Ramada Inn on Lake Shore Drive. It's close to all the terrific Chicago attractions. Only down side is if you don't choose to drive into the city, its an expensive cab ride to and from hotel. All in all....a great value.....nice clean room...and friendly ...

If you want an easy, cheap, clean place to sleep... this is it! Great location... out of the crazy downtown area, easy to find (on Lake Shore) and parking is included.

Great Place to Stay - user review
This was a great place to stay while visiting the Chicago area. I have stayed near Grant Park in the past and right off of Michigan Avenue.

Cries Out for Upgrade - user review
While I would recommend the Ramada for its reasonable rates and proximity to the beautiful University of Chicago, it benefits from a lack of competition in the immediate area. The buildings need basic maintenance; elevator buttons are broken, paint is peeling, the gutters leak over walkways. One pro...
