In my efforts to keep you up-to-date on affordable hotels in downtown Chicago I overlooked one of the best options for the younger crowd (particularly students) and those on a very tight budget. Check out www.hichicago.org for information on our fantastic Hostel.

This is a new facility opened in the fall of 2000 with 500 beds in a 7 story historic, fully renovated building. At the time the doors opened is was the largest, newest, state-of-the-art hostel facility in the world. The Chicago el is just outside your front door. Lots of information, including a tour desk is available in the lobby.

Rates range from $20-$25 per person per night plus tax.
