Top Joy District Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

8/10 Good

"…………………………………………………………….."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, found as a nicely priced option for a quick stopover. Small boutique hotel, rooms are small as expected, no real charming boutique-y features BUT clean & very quiet other than somewhat frequent sirens due to proximity to medical center. Super convenient to Michigan Ave, etc. Easy parking garage <1 block away; $69 for overnight. There is EV charging if needed."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was nice. We were comfortable and it was quiet. The bed was comfortable and we didn't event hear another soul around us the entire time we were there. However, the trek from the elevator to our room was quiet long and we really didn't know where we were going. Through multiple doors, down different hallways. There were very few signs to help us figure out how to get back to the elevator too. In an emergency, it wouldn't have been fun. We stopped at the hotel bar twice. The bar staff were friendly, even while busy. The front desk staff on the other hand couldn't wait to get rid of us."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Friendly staff. Nice rooms"

LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
