If you are looking for a great place to travel to, Chicago is a great option. There are many things to see and do in this city, and you can find some great hotels at a reasonable price. However, some people may be tempted to choose a cheap hotel. Here are some reasons why you should avoid cheap hotels when travelling to Chicago.

Cheap hotels usually have less-than-ideal locations. They are often in bad neighborhoods or far away from the city center. This can make it difficult to get around and see all that Chicago has to offer.

Cheap hotels also tend to have fewer amenities than more expensive hotels. This can mean that you have to go out and find a place to eat every night, or that you have to pay extra for breakfast or Wi-Fi.

In addition, cheap hotels often have poor customer service. This can make your stay less enjoyable and frustrating.

Finally, cheap hotels are not always clean or safe. This can lead to a uncomfortable and even dangerous stay.

Overall, it is usually worth it to spend a little more money on a hotel in Chicago. You will get a better location, more amenities, and better customer service. And you will be much more likely to have a safe and enjoyable stay.
