Booked the Ohio House because it was an affordable place right in the middle of River North. The reviews I read seemed favorable and the pictures made it look cool and kitschy. Ultimately, it was all of those things. Of course, it’s still an older motel in River North which means noise. Noise from the street, noise from the alley, noise from the other rooms. You get an idea that it’ll be noisy when you find earplugs in the room. Overall, though, the room was clean and had been recently remodeled, the bed was comfortable and, location-wise, it was perfect for the few days we were in Chicago. I would stay at the Ohio House again in the future, and if you can tolerate some noise: you should too.
