Days Inn Chicago

Days Inn Chicago: a budget-friendly option for LGBTQ+ travelers in the Windy City, located at 644 West Diversey Parkway.

You’ll find this Days Inn a practical choice if downtown Chicago hotels feel too expensive. It’s a bit out of the center, but that puts you close to Boystown, Chicago's main LGBTQ+ area, plus Lincoln Park and Wrigleyville. Those neighborhoods have plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops, and they're popular with gay travelers.

This is a Days Inn, so expect the usual. It’s a clean place to sleep, not a luxury hotel, which is probably what you want if you’re trying to save money. The hotel won't blow you away, but it's a solid base for exploring Chicago's queer culture without paying downtown prices.
