Top Chicago Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"liked the location of the hotel, room was nice, the restaurant in the hotel adds to the convenience of the property. I did not like EXPEDIA adding extra charges to my bill tried to get them removed but I couldn't get on web site in order to do it. I did not order the insurance and was charged, next trip I will make sure I don't use Expedias web site."

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great room in a world class city and the amenities were on point."

Hyatt Regency Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Really great stay and experience"

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

8/10 Good

"Did have a messed up air conditioner when we first got there. They fixed it immediately and we got it replaced. Other than that good stay."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall this was a great hotel. The room was clean and all staff were friendly. My only complaints were how much light was still allowed into the room even with the curtains closed and since it's an older building sound carried quite a bit more from room to room than I was expecting."

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay. Nice hotel and nice staff"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Habitación limpia y un excelente servicio"

THE MIDLAND HOTEL, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"There were a couple of things about this hotel that threw me for a loop (no in room coffee machine -- but plenty of coffee at the bar with choice of skim, half and half and cream; you first encounter the bar versus the registration area), but I would definitely stay here again, and for that I compliment the staff. Fatima greeted us at check in and immediately noticed my daughter had mobility issues and offered to change our room for an accessible one. Since this was my first overnight trip with my daughter I hadn't even thought of that! I appreciated that she saw a way to make our stay better and made it happen. Fatima also always had a smile on her face when we saw her and was always ready to answer any question. I didn't get the name of the doorman we interacted with the most (but I did get a photo with him!), which I regret. He was an older many who worked day shift and he touched my heart when he stayed by my daughter while I went to get our car from the parking garage. He didn't have to do that. The people definitely made this staff wonderful!"
