Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location for baseball and the island"

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The tV needs to be upgraded to digital..reception is awful and the picture is fuzzy and the dialogue is out of sync with the images. More outlets are needed in the rooms. The hallway smelled of weed, when it's a non-smoking hotel, that's disturbing. Room was clean and had a very nice lake-view. Need to allow for late chek out when guests are in town for an event."
