FieldHouse Jones

This isn't your average hotel, and if you're okay with that, I would recommend booking your stay! Most of the rooms are bunk bed style, but they're still pretty comfortable and spacious. We had two bunk beds in our room for 4 people, but we had plenty of room on the beds. They also have rooms in the typical double bed style, so you can request that if you don't want to sleep in a bunk bed. The first floor has very tall ceilings, so the rooms don't feel stuffy at all. The second floor was definitely a little warmer, but not to the point where it was unbearable. While we didn't have any closet or drawer space in our room, we did have a narrow section where we could store our luggage out of the way. It was nice to be able to walk through the room and not have to worry about tripping over our bags. Our friend had locker/shelf like storage in their room. The differences in the rooms definitely add to the charm of the hotel. When you stay here, you also get free drinks daily if you ask the front desk. They have a variety of soft drinks like juices, sodas, and bottles of water you can choose from. The lobby has a bar as well, but it was closed when we stayed there. There's also a beautiful lounge in the front, too, that's great for reading a book or catching up with friends. In the basement, they have a game room and community kitchen. They have tons of complimentary tea and coffee options, and you can watch TV down there as well. There's also plenty of seating, and it's not too busy or loud. The kitchen was great, spacious, and clean. I left some food in the fridge for a few days, and I didn't have to worry about anyone taking it. The game room has shuffleboard, ping pong, and air hockey. There were also a few exercise machines. I definitely enjoyed my stay and the little unique details this place has to offer!

I loved this boutique hotel! Absolutely recommend. I had a room with a full size bed and the room size was perfect for me. The window was right up against the elevated train track and there was a little noise as trains passed. I sleep with earplugs so it didn’t bother me and I actually enjoyed it. The bathroom was large and well appointed. The hotel decor is great fun. I thought the guest kitchen and dining room was superb and made myself some late night grilled cheese sandwiches :-). Families will really enjoy the communal kitchen and the enormous game rooms! Wow! Great coffee shop with delicious food. The hotel peeps were all super friendly and helpful. I first thought the neighborhood might be dodgy at night (think it’s going through revival) but had no problems at all. I will certainly be coming back to FieldHouse next time I’m in Chicago. A joy!

Beautiful, spotlessly clean, cleverly decorated, fun place. We were a little worried that our room might be noisy due to the "L" right outside our window. But we were surprised that the double pane windows really kept the noise out. We had a very quiet, great night's sleep. Comfortable beds. Well-equipped bathrooms. Great menu choices and coffee in cafe. Great public spaces for hanging out. LOVE this place. Will definitely be back!

A beautiful & unique atmosphere with a cool, relaxed vibe. Love the coffee shop. Rooms were huge but nicely decorated and everything was in order. Train wasn’t too loud, I didn’t even bother to use the free earplugs left in the room. Beds are COMFORTABLE. The shower temperature could have been hotter, there is only one “warm” setting and it was too cold for my preference. Toilet flushes loud AF. Guest kitchen was nice and convenient, game room is fun. This hotel is in a great, safe neighborhood location near the L train station for the brown line which will take you anywhere you want to go. My reservation included parking, only $50 for two days and was the CHEAPEST IN THE ENTIRE AREA. There is tons of shopping nearby. Overall, my best hotel experience. Will be returning anytime I come to Chicago and can’t wait for the next stay!

This was my first hostel experience and I was a little apprehensive going into it. The decor is so cool it sets you at ease right away. I was very impressed by the cleanliness and the ease of my stay. The owners have done an fantastic job of creating a hip, comfortable environment. Bed was comfortable. Location was great. If I had to gripe, I would say that all the surfaces in the room are solid so it can be very loud, especially when others staying in the same room aren't being considerate. But I get it's much easier to clean without carpet, and I'm ok with no carpet. The building is only feet from the El Train which runs every few minutes, but it didn't disturb my sleep. I will definitely stay here again.

Visually amazing, clean hotel in a good location. Customer service was friendly at front desk. My only complaint during our stay was the cleaning crew. Very unfriendly + It states in the room, that your bed will be left as you left it, which is fine, but after the cleaning staff "cleaned" the room our floor was filled with the same crumbs my kids made on the floor when we left and our dirty cups were still there from the mornings coffee. Other than that, we had a great stay. The hotel has a great game room, which my kids loved and the breakfast experience was fun. Parking was easy and the rooms were a nice size. We had a issue after leaving the hotel but the excellent management went above and beyond, once the issue was resolved. Because of this we are looking forward to another stay on our next visit to Chicago and would highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel was wonderful. We enjoyed it very much. We went with two young kids. The place is decorated very well. The space is contemporary and kitchy. The rooms are nice. The location was great. The L was very accessible. We found great dining close by. The staff at the hotel was so friendly and helpful. The amenities included a communal kitchen and that kitchen was impressive! We loved the community feel combined with the privacy of a room of our own. Parking was affordable and close by. Coffee was amazing. Highly recommend

I really enjoyed the place. I had never stayed at a hostel before. I was in a male 4 person room. The bed was big and comfortable. I didn't love having the top bunk, but it was fine enough. The whole place looks super cool! If you don't care about sharing a bathroom and not having your own room, this works great. When you are out and about and not spending a lot of time in the hotel, a hostel like this is a great option.
