Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and extremely helpful. They even gave us an umbrella to use when it was raining. My other friend was arrived early and they allowed her to check in and wait for us. I appreciated the breakfast and how easy the check-in process was. My friend is super picky with hotels and even she rebooked it for next year."

Near Zoo and Beach • Reading Nook + Parking

10/10 Excellent

"We were a group of four adults and enjoyed our stay in this apartment very much. It is in an old building but is recently renovated and is very clean and comfortable. Having a parking spot is certainly a bonus, although if you don’t plan any day trips outside the city you could probably manage without a car. The location is excellent – a metro station, a grocery store and many cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Communication with the host was outstanding. All our questions before and during our stay were answered within minutes. We would gladly stay here again."
