"Location worked very well for our needs. Location was a bit sketchy but we came across zero issues with the neighborhood. Room wasn’t perfect and could have been a little more clean as there was a dirty rag on the floor and the bed sheets/pillows had some questionable stains. Best New Subs across the street was delicious and worth stopping by. Keep in mind all amenities, bathrooms, kitchen, lounge areas are all shared spaces. Doors to the rooms could have been more secured with deadbolts."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

8/10 Good

"The hotel is within walking distance to many must-do locations in Chicago (Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and The Bean). Lots of good good options near by as well. The staff was friendly and efficient. The room was clean upon arrival. The bathroom fan was not working. The main issue was the AC not working. There was not filter in the machine and it was too old/too small to properly cool the room. We had it set to 60 degrees and you wouldn't have known. Not sure if it was because of the floor we were on or what but that was the largest issue we had."

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

6/10 Okay

"The room was relatively small. The front desk agent who helped with check-in was not friendly at all and gave minimal explanation (she only said the breakfast hours but didn't bother to mention which floor the restaurant is on). The wifi never worked. The rooftop bar was closed without explanation on June 8th, 2026. When I arrived, there was only a signage board and no employees. Thus, the lobby bar was crowded, and the cleaning wasn't thorough. The location is good, but the room size is like the regular hotels in Japan (considered small in the USA). If it is a business hotel with no working Wi-Fi, I won't be staying here, even if the price is reasonable for the location. For family/leisure purposes, the room is too small, and the mediocre service wouldn't help create a memorable stay experience either."

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

"It was unfortunate that for entire day I did not have air-conditioning in my room. The staff indicated that there was a problem with the entire hotel and the HVAC system, and that the engineer was working on it. However, the next day I found out when the engineer came to my room that whatever motor that they used to install an air conditioning unit in the room was the incorrect motor and it was never gonna work. The air conditioning unit was finally fixed and when I came back to the hotel the next day by 3 PM we had air-conditioning. The hotel indicated that they were going to reimburse us for the first night. Stay to the amount of $389 and that they would be contacting Expedia since that is where I booked the original trip through. Therefore, I’m just waiting for a refund for my first night which the hotel told me was $389."
