Great location for a family vacation

Everything was great. Could use some scrambled eggs at breakfast. Parking next door is pricey, but par for Chicago. Ditch the car & walk, train, or cab.

Great Location near the loop. We could walk to major shopping areas.

The desk people were friendly. In the morning they helped me route out my destination for the day.

overall great stay

I stayed here with my family (3 adults) for 3 nights/4 days over August 2012. This hotel was perfect for us - great size room (small, but clean and not too compact), perfect location and helpful staff. the price was fair, especially for the location and value of the hotel. We walked everywhere and felt safe in the neighborhood at night. I would definitely stay here again if I am ever in the Chicago area.

quite satisfactory

The room was clean and tasteful, the bed mattresses were comfortable with two pillows per person and nice linens. The continental breakfast has breads and bagels and muffins, no pastries, and fruits and juices and bagals and yogurt and hard boiled eggs. The fitness center has two treadmills but one of them didn't work, that's about my only complaint.

What a great place!!!

Our previous reservation for a different hotel got screwed up by THEIR staff on the day we were to drive from Ohio to Chicago. Lucky for us!!! The LaQuinta was located 1 block north of the Sears tower. From our room you could look right out the window at it! All the downtown sights were walking distance from the hotel. Other "same area" places wanted a HUGE price to stay there. We got great service and again great location for a fraction of the price. I would, and have already, recommend this place to firends and anyone heading to Chicago. The only negative was no onsite parking. Had to use adjacent garage, but the cost of parking is included inthe rate if you drive in, so it's not a cost that hits you at check out.

Sightseeing tip: Not Applicable

All major sites (sears tower, Hancock tower, Water tower shops, Navy Pier, Observatory, Aquarium, even Soldier field were AT most a 25-30 minute walk. Even in July weather it wasn't that bad, with the constant breeze.
