Top Near East Side Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is beautiful and very modern and well maintained. The entire hotel smells lovely throughout the day which makes for a welcoming atmosphere. The room was spacious and clean and The free breakfast is hands down the best continental breakfast I have ever had from a hotel. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. 10/10 experience."

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

8/10 Good

"Overall the hotel was clean and conveniently located. My only complaint was that they didn't have their breakfast restaurant open on Sunday, even though I had paid for breakfast through Expedia. They charge a resort fee, but there isn't much in the way of resort amenities."
