We really enjoyed our stay at Ramada, location was great and it was a HUGE plus to have a complimentary shuttle ride into the downtown area (we spent $35 dollars in parking the day before). The shuttle driver dropped us off at the steps of the art institute, and picked us up later as well. Free parking was also a plus. The room was basic but clean with a nice open layout. Great view of the pool. Only thing missing is a fridge and microwave.

This is the closest hotel to University of Chicago--and the price was right. My son and I thought the room was fine! The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, the air conditioning worked (and muffled road noise), the water pressure was good and the bathtub drained, and the wi-fi worked. Really that is all I'm looking for in a one-night hotel stay. Oh and the front desk people were friendly and efficient.

Stayed there for a business event, the hotel is a little afar from chicago center, a 20 dollar ride with a cab, but there is a shuttle provided free from the hotel. Nearby there are some restaurants. The rooms are large, with the basic two beds and bathroom, a little out of date and old, but very clean, confortable and the bathroom was reformed with nice instalations. The breakfast is payed apart, w/ many options in the menu and fair price, and the restaurant is 20 meters distant from the rooms. Staff is very helpful. I thou... read more

Our purpose on our recent trip to Chicago was to be near the U of Chicago but I almost didn't book this hotel based on old photos and reviews. It was an easy drive or walk from this hotel to just about anywhere you need ot go in Hyde Park. The room was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful, bathroom was clean, towels provided as needed, hote water for shower was hot and plentiful. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear the shower above you when you are in the bathroom. You can hear traffic on Lakeshore Drive but it w... read more

It's within Walking distance to the Museum of Science and Technology, and a short cab ride to the Magnificent Mile. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The BEST part of this hotel is the Breakfast Buffet right next door. $10 a person, all you can eat and that includes Juice and Coffee. It was excellent, and we used it both mornings we were there. The facility itself could use a little renovation on the outside.... the rooms were larger than I expected.. but were pretty standard Hotel fare as far as design. Free Wi-FI i... read more

I cannot say enough about the staff at this hotel. We were traveling with children and they gave us a early check in AND our car stayed there the day we checked out (St. Patrick's Day of all days). Staff answered every question with a smile and were very friendly and helpful. Parking was FREE, and this was huge for us. The shuttle was fabulous. It always left on time and we had front door service to all museums, etc. We were dropped 30 feet from the Chicago River ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY to watch them dye the river. What service... read more

I visited Chicago with my 5 and 7 year old and stayed at Ramada, Lake shore. The location is great with free parking was a bonus. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. The manager took a few minutes to find out was everything okey with our stay. In fact, She recommended a few places where my kid had a amazing time
