The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"The bar was energetic and had a full menu to choose from."

Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was a great location for us because it was within walking distance of our concert at Soldier Field. Parking was very easy to access. The check-in process was quick and friendly. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was professional and accommodating, especially when I needed to ask for extra amenities; they came to the room within minutes."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

"I had a wonderful stay at The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown. The location is one of the biggest highlights—right in the heart of downtown with easy access to the Riverwalk, restaurants, shopping, attractions, and public transportation. It made getting around Chicago incredibly convenient. The hotel itself felt clean, modern, comfortable, and well maintained. My room was spacious, quiet, and relaxing, with a very comfortable bed and everything I needed for an enjoyable stay. I also appreciated the overall atmosphere of the property; it feels polished and upscale without being overly formal. The staff was friendly, professional, and helpful throughout my stay. Every interaction was pleasant, and the service helped make the experience feel smooth from beginning to end. Overall, this was an excellent stay and a great choice for anyone wanting to be centrally located in Chicago. Between the comfortable room, convenient location, cleanliness, and welcoming service, I would absolutely recommend The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown and would happily stay here again."

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

"Beautiful new LEED hotel. Staff were exceptional. Unique part of the room was that you had to place your room key in reader inside your room in order to activate electricity ( room Lights,TV, etc.). I suggest they make visitors aware when they check in. Liked the safety features with the elevator too."

Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop by IHG

"I love IHG, as this is my second location outside of Australia. We did walk in to a funny smelling room, and the toilet didn’t seem to be wiped properly. We brang this matter to the front desk attention and we were given free breakfast and the matter handled immediately! Great location! Comfy beds and friendly staff! Will always recommend!"

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

"Our room was beautiful Lynn appointed, just large enough for two people who like each other. No extras: just the bed, a desk, and locked dresser in the bedroom, and a tub/shower and sink/vanity in the bath..just roomy enough for a couple; excessively cosy if you aren’t."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

"Staff was friendly and really helpful, we arrived at 10 in the morning, they were able to hold our luggage until check-in time, the same thing when we left, they were able to hold our luggage until 8 PM, we loved the coffee machine in the lobby, I would totally recommend this hotel, we will be back."
