Top South Evanston Hotel Reviews

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

10/10 Excellent

"Muy e"

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice pool and fitness center. The room was basic two double beds but outlets only available between the beds. This does not work well when two people want to charge their phones. Luggage can be checked for the day after checkout at the bell desk, but the process was inefficient and slow. Only 4 elevators for 26 floors. Parking across the street at Nordstrom's (enter on Rush) was convenient, booked through Spothero, and saved $40 over valet parking. All in all, you are paying for the location."

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I am very happy with my Stay at River hotel, everything was great. Hotel was clean, I interacted with multiple staff members and a couple of them went above and beyond. The view was magnificent, I had a river view room and it was great, the only thing I would advise, if you are a light sleeper, don’t get a river view, it is noisy outside and you can hear everything, we didn’t mind it, but in the future I will stay at Club Quarters for a higher floor."
