Well, there's an SRO in Chinatown. Now, an SRO sounds kinda skeezy, but this one requires a credit card to check in which will definitely keep out the riff-raff. And it's 97.50 a night. (http://www.hotels.com/property.do?searchMtmPropert...
And there's a hostel in downtown Chicago that he might want to check out. Rooms there are $30-plus bucks a night. (http://www.hichicago.org/). And there's Arlington House Hostel where a private room will run out abuot $80 a night (http://www.arlingtonhouse.com/private.html). And there;s the Chicago Hostel, with at the high end will run you about $40 a night (http://www.arlingtonhouse.com/private.html). It's on the far north end of the city, but it's near a pretty nice coffee shop, Metropolis (http://www.metropoliscoffee.com/). ALL of these are very close to many forms of public transportation (bus and elevated train)
Below is the link to the search I did on Hotel. com, in case none of these appeal to him.
