Top St. James Cathedral Hotel Reviews

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"We came down for the Jill Scott concert and stayed here add the hotel was literally 2 blocked from the venue Chicago Theater. We were on the 4th floor and the view was spectacular. The room had 2 queen beds and was very spacious, but what took my breath away was the bed area in the window. I slept here because I wanted to see the view. Valet parking was $65 a night which is cheaper than a lot of places in Chicago. I paid for breakfast at the hotel with the reservation, which was an Asian/American mix restaurant. There were conventional breakfast choices are well as Asian choices, I'm more of a conventional breakfast person. The price for breakfast was $50 extra per person. There were many people in there for breakfast so the place is pretty popular, but next time I'll just go to a restaurant nearby. We didn't stay for dinner so I'm not sure of the choices with that. I will most definitely stay here again, and will recommend to others. I think this hotel is my favorite in Chicago so far."
