This was our first time staying at the Jaslin Hotel, but it won't be our last. We typically stay in the Loop or up by Loyola, but both areas were more expensive than usual this time. The Jaslin Hotel had very good reviews, and the price was exceptionally good, so we gave it a try.
The location is really convenient. We arrived by car, so it was right off the freeway. It was 1.5 blocks to the Chinatown-Cermak Red Line station. Parking was initially a problem, since we had never been to the area, but after checking in, the staff explained where the public lot was (right beside the Red Line stop). The 24-hour rate at the time of our stay was $16 if you didn't need in-and-out privileges (it is totally automated for payment). I had no worries about parking in the area as it was well-lit and camera monitored.
The front desk staff were incredibly polite and professional. The room was standard "Chicago-small", but there was plenty of room for our gear. It was very clean.
There isn't a breakfast option (included or paid) and the closest breakfast-ish place is a Starbucks a few blocks away. They do have a microwave in the lobby and there was a fridge in our room, so you could manage on your own if you planned in advance.
The only drawback to our room was that it had a GREAT view of the Chicago downtown... right across from the fire station. There were about 4 night calls during our stay, but it wasn't enough to really change our review.
Overall, we would definitely stay here again.
