When I booked a Best Western for a short trip to Chicago this fall I thought I knew what to expect. Happily I was surprised; The location, facilities,decor, and service of this hotel far exceeded my expectations for a hotel at its star rating and price. My room in the adjoining building, though close to the street, was quiet and more well appointed ...
Great location if you want to go to a Cubs game and visit the gay bars. There are many nice restaurants and shops in the area. About a $17 cab fare to downtown Chicago. The hotel itself is very dated and offers little luxury if that is what you are after. The desk staff do not go out of their way to be friendly or offer assistance. The ...

Forget the hotels on Michigan Ave...this is perfect.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/19/07
My fiancé and I were on a five night holiday in Chicago and had hoped to stay at the Hilton on Michigan Avenue. Due to some unfortunate circumstances our reservation fell through only a few weeks before the trip, and we had no idea where we could stay- especially at the last minute. Thanks to the reviews on this page we booked at the Hawthorne ...

The hotel was very clean, the staff was great and very friendly. The hotel was perfect for walking to restaurants, bars and Wrigley Field. The continental breakfast was more than sufficient. The only drawback was the double beds. Had a great time.
This beautiful hotel reminds you of being in Europe. The walkway is lined with gorgeous flowers, ivy climbing the walls, wrought iron umbrella tables in the courtyard to sit and enjoy the scenery. The neighborhood is full of culture and quaint restaurants. The room was perfect with 2 comfortable double beds and a nice sitting area separate from ...

Very, very Groovy
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/02/06
what a cool little hotel. it's in a very exciting neighborhood, lots of food & drink, and cool places to see. this place was so clean, my mom would be proud if my place was this clean. the staff was good too. they told us recommodations on the best of Chicago. Oh, the hotel won an award for 2006, "Best of The Best", me and my gilrfriend would agree. you gotta check this place out, you gotta check out Chicago too.

It's okay if you don't have a car!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/23/05
The hotel is really quite charming. However, if you need a place to park the only spot other than squeezing onto the streets is a garage next door, where you have to leave your keys with the office. I was there on business and had product in my trunk; there is no way I'm giving up my keys over night to a stranger!
tucked slightly off broadway the best western hawthorne sweets offers the best of the boystown area. you are minutes away from all the things that make this area great: the lake, the clubs, downtown. The hotel offers a luxury that you do not have to break your bank accont over but still feel treated like a queen. There never will be a lack of smiling people ready to help you out with your stay.
This gem of a hotel is nestled in a quaint neighborhood that is convenient to many attractions. Aside from being mere blocks away from Wrigley Field and Boystown/Halstead Street, there are many great restaurants, bars, and boutiques just outside the hotel lobby. Those wanting to venture without taking a cab or the car will be pleased that the hotel ...
