Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms where good. Staff was very friendly."

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at Gold Club. Mandan geninely treats you like your guest at her own home. We were at the hotel for Chicago Marathon; and their soecial athlete breakfast and attention to details were very helpful."

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"The location was great. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable sitting areas in lobby. However, for the cost of accommodations, the room was terribly small and on the front of the building so very noisy with the street below. Yet the bathroom was beautiful. Large enough and well maintained. Towels were so soft. Restaurant wasn’t anything to give a shout out nor was the coffee/tea table in the morning. Just the basics. It would’ve been nice as well as having some complimentary offerings, 24/7, of coffee, tea and water dispensers with some healthy snack options instead of “The Shop” with a multitude of costly, processed foods. In the morning or coming in later at night you sometimes simply want a small snack and a water or tea. We would like to stay here again but not sure we will. For us, the cost wasn’t worth the amenities."

Arlo Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and loved the view of Millennial park! Clean and well kept hotel with fun vibe and helpful staff. I would plan to stay here again next time I’m in Chicago."

"Great location"

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Hands-down, always my favorite place to stay when I am in Chicago. I’ve been staying here for years. It’s essentially located so you can walk everywhere to the magnificent mile to the Gold Coast Beach to all of the shopping. Restaurants are right next to it. There is a true food, kitchen and a soul cycle right next to it as well and Tal nightclub is also right next-door. The staff is absolutely amazing in the rooms are luxurious for a great price."
