River Hotel

4/10 Poor

"You have to pay a $100 deposit I have not Received mine back after 7 working days No one response to message"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

2/10 Terrible

"They cancelled my reservation without notifying Expedia or me and I had to find a new place to stay. They are the worst hotel ever. Do not stay here. Do not trust them. They even admitted that the reason they did it is because my rate that I booked at was too low."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North

6/10 Okay

"Check in was at 4pm but our room wasn't ready until 5 because " they didn't have any housekeeping." Then we asked for a physical key and digital key, the front desk attendant said we could have both and they would both work, turns out he deactivated my digital key, and when I went back down to ask him to reactivate it he deactivated our physical key. Would not recommend staying here."
