I ended up in Chicago a day earlier than expected and the hotel at which I had a reservation for the remainder of my trip would only extend my reservation for three times the rate I originally paid. I found Comfort Inn around the corner, and what a nice surprise - especially for the price and this level hotel! First, it is well located, near the river and in The Loop. The rooms (suites) are large, with a full kitchen, dishwasher(!), washer and dryer(!) and a king size bed, which was quite comfortable. Nothing too fancy, maybe a little dated, (althought the high-tech bathroom mirror was cool), but clean and pretty nice. The staff was super friendly. The breakfast is your basic free breakfast fare. While it is on Michigan Avenue, it is fairly quiet. One thing I would point out is that my room, particularly the living room, was a bit drafty (it was frigid outside). Overall, recommended
