Top River West Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

8/10 Good

"Great experience overall. TV streaming apps would not connect to the internet even after engineering came by to try to fix it. "

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

6/10 Okay

"The room was cleen enough, it smelled musty, but looked clean, rather out dated, IKEA furnished. Staff was friendly. I was told on check-in that i owed more money for the amenities, which was quite expensive for breakfast and a cocktail ($125/person) the hotel itself is pretty worn around the edges. I was awoken at 715 am to construction on the facade outside my window and was offered a new room for the remaining 4 hours rather than a reduction in rates. Kinda disappointed "

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

4/10 Poor

"Ridiculous parking charge, no parking garage for the building, the Sofitel would have been a much much better choice, the price difference of 80 dollars between the two places was made null by the price of parking, which is included in the booking for the Sofitel and also a far far superior establishing."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience! The staff really goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and taken care of. I really enjoyed my stay! We were across the street from the river and the shopping direct and walking distance from all the tourist attractions! I’ll definitely be back!"

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is awesome for visiting Chicago. The staff were consistently attentive, respectful and helpful with suggestions. The hotel room was clean and the view we had was fantastic. The pool and hot tub were relaxing — easy to access and get fresh towels. The only minor criticism was that the hotel is an older building and shows some wear and tear — if I owned it, I’d invest in new flooring because the old carpet is super gross. That said, for what we paid and what we got, we are extremely satisfied and glad we stayed at the Hilton, and will likely stay there again!"
