Top Old Town Chicago Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North

8/10 Good

"Clean property overall, cleaning staff did not clean our room daily and we had to ask for towels and wash clothes. It is close and in walking distance of restaurants and shopping."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is amazing, right on Michigan Avenue, across the street from the park, a few blocks south of the river. The staff was friendly and efficient when I checked in, asked a few questions, and checked out. The room was great... nicer than I imagined. I would have liked daily room service. And the property really needs a reasonably priced breakfast place."

LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Great room but the beds were really small. The bathroom door was frosted but you could still see through the door and there was a large mirror in front of the bathroom door. To top it off the bathroom door was a sliding door that did not close all the way, so absolutely no privacy in a room that sleeps 4!"
