Top Chicago Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent
"I had an exceptional stay at the Hilton Chicago. From the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel genuinely welcome. I especially want to recognize Hadley at the front desk, who was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional throughout my stay. The housekeeping team, bell staff, and everyone else I encountered provided excellent service and treated me wonderfully. The fitness center was outstanding and had everything I needed to maintain my workouts while traveling. My room, 1804, was comfortable, clean, and exceptional in every way. I truly loved my experience at the Hilton Chicago and am extremely grateful to Hadley and the entire team for making my stay so memorable. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel."

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

8/10 Good
"I got married at this hotel in 1994. I have always loved its location. However the rooms are so out dated. The hallways outdated. The garage is dark coming in at night. You have to call the lobby so that someone could let you in from the garage so you can check in. The lobby is the only update. The air conditioner is loud in the room. It’s perfect for a long weekend or business trip in and out you have your necessities and a beautiful view. They do serve breakfast. Evanston is a beautiful town next to Chicago so you get to enjoy both and the lake front in both cities."
