When is the best time to go to Portage Park?

The best time to visit Portage Park is during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities. During these months, the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it comfortable for exploring the area's parks and enjoying local events. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, and the natural scenery, particularly in autumn with the changing leaves, is quite attractive. For those looking to enjoy outdoor recreation without the intense summer heat or the chill of winter, these shoulder seasons are ideal.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

8/10 Good

"good"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good stay at The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown. The room was clean, and the view was amazing. The hotel location is excellent and very walkable, close to many of the main attractions in downtown Chicago. The staff was okay and helpful when we asked for assistance. I did expect the room to feel a little more luxurious, and the shower needed some maintenance. Overall, it was a good experience because of the clean room, beautiful view, and great location. I would give it 4.5 stars."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Stayed six nights during my first visit to Chicago. The Congress Plaza's biggest strength is its location. You're directly across from Grant Park and within walking distance of Buckingham Fountain, Millennium Park, the Art Institute, the lakefront, restaurants, public transit, and many of Chicago's major attractions. The hotel itself is a piece of Chicago history and has a classic old-world character that newer hotels can't replicate. My room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what I needed after long days exploring the city. Staff were professional and helpful throughout my stay. The trade-off is that this is an older property. Some areas feel dated and could benefit from modernization. If you're expecting a luxury hotel with the latest amenities, this may not be the best fit. That said, the value, location, and historic atmosphere more than made up for it. I spent most of my time experiencing Chicago rather than sitting in a hotel room, and for that purpose, the Congress Plaza was an excellent choice. Pros: Outstanding location, historic character, walkability, value, helpful staff. Cons: Some rooms and common areas show their age. I would stay here again."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

8/10 Good

"Our last night there the fire alarm went off at 3:30 am. We ,two old ladies, and the couple with a kid went down 12 flights of stairs. The front desk clerk at that time didn’t seem concerned. After us sitting down stairs for at least 20 minutes he asked what we all were sitting there waiting for. We said the fire alarm, he left for about five minutes and said there was no fire alarm. Very disappointing in the no concern."
