The Spotlight on Ohio House Motel

Classic Comfort Right in the Heart of Chicago

Modern convenience meets retro charm at the Ohio House Motel, a no-frills stay in downtown Chicago’s vibrant River North neighborhood. Just steps from the Magnificent Mile and under 3 miles from iconic attractions like Navy Pier and Shedd Aquarium, this motel offers a central base with unbeatable access to the city's entertainment scene. Free WiFi, air-conditioned rooms, and complimentary parking make it a smart choice for travelers looking to stay comfortably without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

With a location that puts you near some of Chicago’s hottest concert venues, Ohio House Motel is a top pick for music lovers. Whether you're catching a show at a nearby downtown theater or heading north to Wrigley Field for a stadium concert, you're never far from the action. Guests appreciate the free on-site parking—a rarity downtown—and the quiet rooms that provide a peaceful retreat after a night out. Plus, with a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there's just enough flexibility to fit most schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base to crash after a show
  • Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage through the Windy City
  • Couples planning a weekend of tunes, food, and fun
  • Fans needing a quiet place to unwind after loud encore sets
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers wanting location without the luxury price tag

Food and Drink Options

While the motel itself doesn’t offer dining, guests love the proximity to River North’s incredible food scene. You’ll find 24-hour diners, late-night pizza joints, and casual eateries all within walking distance. Whether you’re grabbing a post-show snack or sleeping in and searching for a brunch spot after noon, you won’t be short on choices.

Nightlife Options

Located in one of Chicago’s most happening neighborhoods, nightlife is right outside your door. From live music bars and craft cocktail lounges to classic dive bars, there's something for every vibe. The area is walkable and well-lit, making it easy to bar-hop or wind down with a drink nearby.

What People Say

Reviews regularly praise the excellent location, free parking, and clean, comfortable rooms. Many guests mention how surprisingly quiet the motel is despite being in the heart of downtown. Travelers also appreciate the easy access to public transit and the friendly, helpful front desk staff.

Areas for Improvement

This is a motel-style property, so don’t expect luxury amenities like a gym or pool. Rooms are on the smaller side and the decor is a bit dated—but hey, you’re here for the music, not the wallpaper. Some guests note that the parking spaces can be tight, especially during peak hours.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, convenient, and budget-friendly spot in downtown Chicago that puts you close to the music, Ohio House Motel hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Brett, Chicago, visiting Zanies Comedy Club Chicago

Complaints were handled in a good manner; no free breakfast but free parking; overall, it was okay but the heat situation which caused very disrupted sleep made it disappointing. Remodel is "in the works" according to morning clerk.

Liked: $20 restaurant gift card due to heat. Free hot chocolate. Free, first come, first served parking. Great location.
Disliked: The room heat was all controlled by the front desk which we had adjusted upon check in to 70 degrees, but after returning for the night the room temperature was 76 and we had to call for an adjustment again. I woke up several times throughout the night because it still stayed hot. The clerk apologized in the morning and gave us a $20 restaurant gift card.

Fabulous Short Stay in Exciting...

Liked: The accommodation was well appointed for a short stay, and the staff were wonderful. Whenever there were any questions, they were very happy to reply in a very short turnaround time. The motel itself is very convenient with located, and for those who have cars there is parking. We found it easy to walk to many locations, including public transit. It was a great day! Thanks to Hector and all the other wonderful staff that helped us on our stay!
Disliked: Not necessarily a dislike, but we found the air-conditioning a bit too cool. But the staff were very happy to accommodate us and adjust the settings. All in all, some people may prefer the cooler settings.

Poor

Liked: The room was clean and pleasant
Disliked: The noise was bad, we had just come off a long haul flight, so we were pretty tired. Yet got little sleep due to what sounded like drag racing taking place outside throughout the night, mixed in with a good amount of emergency service sirens going off. Certainly wouldn't recommend it if you need to get a good sleep. Also it was disappointing to be additionally charged for parking circa $45+ for a night, when it's described as a Motel! Motels are expected to have parking! I appreciate that most hotels in Chicago do charge extra for parking but in this instance it's not clear on booking, therefore making it a misrepresented price.

Disliked: By a busy steeet so quite loud but that is to be expected downtown Chicago.
