McCormick Place Guest House

I booked this place online through Expedia. It looked like a hostel shared living space. I couldn't make the first night of my booking and that is a good thing because they sent me an email for another address that I needed to go to due to the fact that the room was not yet cleaned. What accommodation sends you to a different address? Them they asked me for an additional $300 "deposit". I did not feel comfortable giving them additional money for being sent to a completely different address. They will not refund anything. I never even stayed there because I was uncomfortable with the address change. I'm taking my grievances up with Expedia and am trying to get my money back, although I read on line it is considered a legitimate business, I have serious concerns about their practi

Do not stay here. No one there to talk to. Everything is done through email or text. They charge an outrageous deposit. $500 for locals and $300 for everyone else. According to other reviews you may or may not get that back. It's at their discretion whether you do or not. Beds are very uncomfortable. Deposit has to be sent through PayPal, Venmo or Zelle. You have to send proof of payment before you get code to get in. With all this checking in is not very convenient. BEWARE BEWARE!

Good room for the price. Area seem nice and only half hour walk from the beach. Shared bathroom but there are two bathrooms we had access to, so it wasn’t terrible.

We loved it!!! Affordable, friendly, conveniently located to several public transits that take you downtown. Even Uber or lift to downtown was $10 give or take. Stayed 3 nights went to concerts, fireworks, fine dining, and best beaches in the world in my opinion. We will most definitely come back to McCormick place guest house, this is our go to hotel for Chicago from now on.

Very shady experience. After we paid for two rooms, the hotel suddenly demanded an extra $600 via Venmo. When we questioned this suspicious request, the staff were extremely rude and refused to give us our money back. Completely unprofessional ! I will never go back there.
