Chicago Lake Shore Hotel

We needed to be close to the University of Chicago and Hyde Park and the Ramada Inn Lake Shore offered excellent accommodations at a reasonable rate. The staff is an added plus and they made every effort to take care of our needs. My wife and I would stay here again even if we didn't need to be close to the south side. Lake Shore Drive makes all of Chicago accessible, from Hyde Park to Evanston. It's an older property but with folks like Angie and Earl taking care of us it was just like being with family.

I was visiting for a conference at the Hyde Park campus, and this hotel was incredibly convenient. I was able to leave my car in the parking garage during the day, and a line of taxis was waiting to take me to the campus. The free WiFi was a bonus.

I'm not sure what people expect, but this hotel is in a great location and I can't say enough about the hotel staff. They were very friendly and accommodating. Yes, the rooms are a little outdated, but ours was clean. This is about the only place in Chicago to get free parking and it's very close to the front lobby and in a gated area. The pool could use some work, but we weren't there to sit by the pool much. The free shuttle gets you to popular locations downtown, which is a plus. I've stayed here before and certainly woul... read more

This is the closest hotel to University of Chicago--and the price was right--so despite the iffy reviews here, we took the chance and stayed. 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.

Angie at the front desk was wonderful! She went out of her way to be helpful. Both friendly and efficient. Always with a smile on her face. She is an asset to your company.

We stayed here for just one night. When we pulled up I was underwhelmed by the appearance of the place, but the lobby was nice, and when we got into our room it was fine. I inquired about upgrading to a lakeview and did so for a small fee ($20). This was SO worth it -- our "lakeview" was also a suite with a separate living area! Great deal, and the view was fantastic. This was through ANGIE at the front desk -- she was so nice and helpful and made our stay so much better. Whatever she makes, she deserves a raise! I didn't no... read more

The staff was excellent! Anything that wasn't perfect was more than made up for by the friendliness and helpful staff. We would definitely stay there again!

Every year my girlfriends and I pick a play and we come down to the city of girls only fun. This year we stayed at the Ramada Lake Shore. The receptionist was very prompt, she was sweet and she was so accommodating. Our group has seven women in it, and we wanted adjoining rooms. They did not have any available, but God bless her she tried for twenty minutes! It was a good hotel at a good price and the night life a few miles away could not be beat!
