Top St. James Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Hotel welcoming and very clean . Fresh water in reception and on bedroom floors. Lovely gym with peloton equipment weights etc Beds comfy . Room felt a bit small but that’s because we were 3 adults with large suitcases so had to keep pushing them out the way. Bathroom well stocked and plenty of towels . Good large modern tv. Free coffee/tea served downstairs in mornings . We switched aircon off as bit noisy but it randomly would come in in the night. Very good central location"

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Congress for a Bears game. We selected it based on price and proximity to Soldier Field. The price was incredibly reasonable, so I was a bit concerned about the quality and cleanliness of the room and hotel prior to checking in. We were more than pleased with our room and the hotel overall and feel it was great value for our money. The room was very clean and had been updated quite recently. It was roomie in both the room itself and the bathroom. We also appreciated the amenities in the room, including a coffee maker, refrigerator, a large, walk-in closet, plenty of drawer storage for clothes and extra seating and table. It is also near do much in the city, so it’s a great place to stay. The only issue that I had is I wish the TV had been a bit larger. But other than that, I would highly recommend the Congress."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great and modern. Water pressure in the bathroom was excellent. I would say the dining area needed a little TLC, The elevators were a bit small. Downside is the hotel is close to the hospital and you heard a lot of ambulances throughout the night. There was a valet parking fee. You would think parking would be included in with the hotel reservation at no additional charge."

Kasa Magnificent Mile Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good except no heat until 10/30. Had to provide us with two heaters."

The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Godfrey is a beautiful hotel in a great location. I had the deluxe King room that was very spacious and it had an amazing view. Staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be staying here when I am back in Chicago."

Freehand Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"It was comfortable"
