Best and cheapest hotel to stay in Chicago?

= ome of the very cheapest places you will be able to find to stay in Chicago are the hostels....were they rent out by the bed and not the room. Below are two websites where you can book a bed at Chicago hostels. Also, if you really do not mind staying in a real "dump" you can call these two no-star hotels and see what they charge for a room(you might want to look at the room before you pay), both are very near downtown. The New Jackson Hotel at 768 W. Jackson St. Ph. 312-372-8856 and the Tokyo Hotel at 19 E. Ohio St. Ph. 312-787-4900.
