Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"It’s an older, smaller historic building and the staff do a good job of maintaining what they can- some stuff will never be new. 2 very small elevators and one was down during our stay which was a challenge on the 16th floor so recommend a lower floor if that happens again. The location is right off Michigan Ave and compared to Hiltons and Marriotts I have stayed at within a few blocks you can’t beat the price for this one. It is right by the hospital so true to downtown Chicago, will have lots of ambulance and traffic noise no matter the time of night."
