The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

10/10 Excellent

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

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Room 304 was just fine. The view from the window was really poor and unpleasant. The bathroom small and a bit run down. The hotel entry, reception area and the bars and restaurants were beautiful, elegant and sophisticated."

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. The staff was professional and friendly. Location was great, one block off Michigan Ave. and the Magnificent Mile. Very walkable to shopping, restaurants, Navy Pier, the Chicago River, Water Tower place. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choices. All of this exceeded my expectations. Would go back again and will recommend to others."

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were nice"

Hotel Lincoln

"Room was clean few amenities but over all stay"

Large, Exquisitely Decorated in Heart of East Lakeview Near Wrigley & Lakefront

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic walkable location. Huge, spacious condo. Great modern appliances, almost like new. Comfortable beds. Host very responsive to questions etc. Plenty of good quality sheets, towels, trash bags etc. Air conditioning and washer dryer worked perfectly!"

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."

Extra Large Authentic Chicago Graystone walk to Wrigley, Lakefront & Restaurants

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Easy process. Highly recommend."

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"
