Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"We did find some small issues with the cleanliness of the room. Great location. Beautiful hotel. Amazing rooftop bar experience. We had a great stay."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"A very quick trip to Chicago and this hotel was perfect! Close to the metro, so there was no need for a car or an uber. Everything is either in walking distance or on the metro line…perfect location! The hotel itself is beautiful and the people there are lovely. We had the option to pay $25 for an early checkin which was very helpful. The room was clean with an incredible view of the river. We would absolutely stay here again!"

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Antonio was kind and welcoming my entire stay. Honey was very nice on my check-in day and the rest of the staff was super nice. The room had a yoga mat and dumbbells, bath robes, and good amount of lights and outlets. Loved the design of the room like the bench dresser under the tv. I would stay again, my only complaint is the lobby was a little warm and the elevator took awhile with only two elevators and several floors. Parilla, the restaurant next door had good food and hotel guests get a 10% discount which was convenient the first night when I was exhausted and didn’t want to venture out for dinner."
