When travelling, especially when on a budget, it can be tempting to choose the cheapest option for lodging – even if that means a hotel in a less-than-ideal location. However, in some cases, it may be wiser to spend a bit more on a hotel in a better neighbourhood in order to enjoy a more pleasant and hassle-free stay.

This is certainly the case when visiting the city of Chicago in the United States. Although there are a number of affordable hotels available, many of them are located in neighbourhoods that can be dodgy, dangerous, or just plain noisy. In contrast, there are many quality, lower-priced hotels located in more pleasant neighbourhoods – and it’s well worth the extra money to enjoy a more restful stay.

Some of the best neighbourhoods in which to find cheap hotels in Chicago include the Loop, the Near North Side, and the Near West Side. Each of these areas is packed with great restaurants, interesting shops, and cultural attractions, and is also relatively safe and quiet. So, if you’re looking for a good deal on a hotel in Chicago, be sure to check out these neighbourhoods – and be prepared to spend a bit more for a better experience.
