Welcome to Betterbidding. :)
 

Please provide the date/s of travel and we would be happy to take a look and try to ID the listing.

 

If you click the listing, then click "book now", then click "see all in the amenities box on the next page, do you see any additional accessible amenities?

 

Finally, do you need to be in this area for a particular reason? From a tourist perspective, if you are going to be out late, there's more going on North of the river. Parts of the Loop can be pretty quiet at night.

 

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Doing this part because under 21 but over 18 and don't have a huge budget. Next downtown hotel with 3+ stars and 18 and over booking is $150 night. Also going for safety.

This listing hasn't been ID'd/reported to the board, but my guess would be the Hotel Blake.

 

If this is the Blake, there's not a whole lot going on in the South Loop, although there are some options nearby in Printer's Row. North of the river has more going on at night.

 

If you want to be in an area that's more 20-something, I do see a 3* in the Lincoln Park area w/free breakfast for $95 (the price you see may differ slightly.) That says 18+ on the detail page w/smoke-free, breakfast, laundry. There's also a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating. I'm guessing this is possibly the Willows or Majestic. Lincoln Park is a neighborhood on the North side with a lot of restaurants and boutique/high-end thrift shopping, as well as some cool stores (Reckless Records on Broadway is an example - http://www.yelp.com/biz/reckless-records-chicago-3.) Lincoln Park also has the zoo, plus easy transit to downtown.

There are definitely many other options in the city, but if you don't feel like going far, Hackney's Printers Row (http://www.hackneysprintersrow.net/) is a couple of blocks South. The restaurant website offers a coupon if you sign up for their mailing list.
