"The Ohio House Motel was ideal for our small business trip. Its central location allows easy access to attractions, restaurants, and markets within 15–20 minutes. Parking is reasonably priced, with in-and-out privileges—a rarity in Chicago. The recently renovated facility was clean and well-maintained. However, the double beds are quite small, comfortable for one person but cramped for two."

"Decent location, room was clean but even though we reserved the corner suite, I didn't believe we were given the 600 ft² one. Breakfast was adequate and frequently restocked up until closing hour. Friendly staff, but busy. The hotel was fully booked so the small lobby was always packed.
