There are some "lower end" motels in River North, pretty near downtown (and thus the Red and Brown lines). Check out the Ohio House, Howard Johnson, and Best Western. Will really depend on what sort of rates you're looking for. There's several SRO/transient type places too (I live by the Carling Hotel and the Marshall Hotel) but those might not be quite what you're looking for. There's also a hostel (i.e. cheap) in the south loop around Congress and Wabash, literally overlooking the L tracks.

I have a friend who has stayed at this place a few times and says it is very reasonably priced and a good place to stay downtown.

^Oh, how could I forget the Tokyo Hotel! It's right by the Red Line, great area, and very, uh, affordable. (I think in the $50/night range, but you'll get what you pay for...)

If you don't need to be anywhere near the central area, there's a hostel by Loyola University (also Red line, but about 30 minutes north of the Loop) that's about $25 per night.
