The Willows Hotel

A historic property, The Willows (formerly the Surf, and located on Surf Street), is four stories tall and has a vintage feel to the place. Guests who've stayed here love the fact that it's a budget-friendly option and close to many of Chicago's top attractions without being in the heart of the hustle and bustle of the city. It offers many of the hotel amenities one would expect such as a free continental breakfast and wifi and while the hotel doesn't offer an on-site fitness facility, it does provide complimentary passes to the Lakeview/Lincoln Park Fitness 19. The club features cardio and weight machines and fitness classes including Pilates, yoga and zumba.
