Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"I wish there were ice on the 2nd floor with the coffee and water station. Also would have liked some non-caffeinated tea options. Overall the stay was nice. A great central location for walking to many different places. It felt safe to be outside at night and the river view was nice."

The Willows Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was just right for us. The location is quiet but close to the busy areas. Older and a bit worn but lots of character and charm. Parking was easy with SpotHero and the rooftop of the shopping center just down the block."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very functional. They try to make it a nice experience by adding all the extras like music on weekends. I wish they they’d paid more attention to the basics like comfy pillows or bed sheets that were correctly sized to the bed. Ours were too small."

The Sono Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I like that it had a balcony food choice wasn’t my type of style end up ordering food off of site but definitely had all the amenities for you to be ready for the next day. Will be staying again little bit pricey for a short weekend stay but I will definitely be coming back. Very great part of the town hope to own my own own home in this place one day."

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

10/10 Excellent

"I love that I had my own parking spot with the hotel"

Hotel Lincoln

8/10 Good

"Room was clean few amenities but over all stay"

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely remarkable place! It genuinely feels as though a beautiful piece of historic Italy has been transported into this Chicago neighborhood. The architecture, thoughtfully selected ornate decor, warmth, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly welcoming. This is not simply a place to stay. It is an experience. And then there is Gina! Her hospitality is in a class of its own. From preparing a wonderful breakfast to serving homemade banana bread, she has a natural gift for making guests feel like family. Frankly, she could teach a master class in hospitality. I almost hesitate to share just how exceptional this place is because once people discover it, I have no doubt it will become a destination in its own right. Having stayed in countless places from California to New York, I can say without hesitation that this property stands among the very best. It sets a new standard for character, comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality. There is something special about a place that manages to feel both first-class and like coming home. Gina and Don, you have created something truly extraordinary. You didn't just get this place right. You knocked it out of the park! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I would return in a heartbeat."

Hotel Versey Chicago Lincoln Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay overall! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the hotel and surrounding area were clean and felt safe. The only minor issues were with the room itself. It was quite hot, even with the window open, and the street noise was noticeable. However, we spent very little time in the room, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. One thing to note is that the parking information listed valet parking, but valet service was not available. Instead, there is a self-parking garage just a short walk from the hotel. Other than these small inconveniences, everything was great. The friendly staff, cleanliness, and safe location made for a very pleasant stay. With a cooler, quieter room and more accurate parking information, this would easily be a five-star experience. We would definitely consider staying here again! Oh and if stay go to the restaurant for a burger and tots you won't be disappointed"

Heart of the City Group Hub • Patio • Fireplace • Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The host provides a BUNCH of charging cables, including the goofy ones for an Apple watch. Lots of restaurants and shops, including a French bakery, within walking distance. If you want a supermarket, the most amazing Whole Foods that I've ever seen is about a mile west, off North Avenue."
