"I had a wonderful experience at The Fairmont in Chicago! The only thing I noticed were some bugs in the bathroom and a fly in the room, but the service supersedes these things. Thanks everyone!"

HI Chicago Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, very well organized. Multiple “security checkpoints” where you had to have a scan card to get into the building, to the elevator, to your specific floor and your room. Plus each bed has curtains so you do have privacy even when in a 10 bed dorm"

Silversmith Hotel Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute room. We were on the 3rd floor and the train wasn’t as problematic as we thought! Staff was helpful. Would definitely stay here again!"

Palmer House a Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice, historical,conveniently located, minus the parking charge! We don’t ride horses anymore meaning we have cars, hence… we need to park it and no! We shouldn’t have to pay. Next thing would be to charge us for the bed! To use the bathroom and microwave among other things but I better now give them ideas"
