Top Griffin Museum of Science and Industry Hotel Reviews

Sophy Hyde Park

8/10 Good

"Nice eclectic hotel in Hyde Park. Lots of meter regulated street parking available after 7pm. Rooms are nice and cozy, however paper thin walls. Carpet in the lobby and rooms need steam cleaning. Housekeeping personnel were very nice. Messler/ Food and drinks from Messler were very tasty and the staff was nice."

Hyatt Place Chicago-South/University Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the hotel's warm, friendly atmosphere, the staff was great, our room was clean and quiet, the breakfast was good, and it was a good location to visit the Obama Presidential Center."

Mccormick Place Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Spacious Bronzeville Gem Garden lvl Near Downtown, University of Chicago, Museum

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful, our host was friendly and responsive, and nearby access to public transportation made our stay unforgettable. I would highly recommend this lodging to anyone who is looking to explore downtown Chicago and is willing to get familiar with public transportation. It was convenient and comfortable and we will definitely stay here again if/when we return to Chicago."

LakeHouse with rooftop and views of lake.

10/10 Excellent

"The house was as advertised. It was clean and very close to the lake. Jessica was very responsive and helpful. The only challenge was parking as it was tight for a large SUV but would be fine for smaller vehicles."

Bright Vintage U of C Center Condo with WiFi, AC in enjoyable Chicago

8/10 Good

"The queen beds were comfortable and the parking was easy. It was nice that there were so many bathrooms, so no one ever had to wait. There was no bedding for the futons/couch, we found a thin blanket to use as a sheet and we happened to bring a blanket with us, so we made do. In the common areas there isn't much comfortable seating. Someone was sleeping on the couch, so that only left the table with chairs upstairs. Be aware that when the people on the floor above walk around it is very loud. So bring ear plugs or a white noise machine. It is easily walkable to the Obama Presidential Library, which is a must see!"

Bronzeville Manor walking distance to hospitals

10/10 Excellent
