Top St. James Cathedral Hotel Reviews

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and amazing staff! Would definitely stay again!!"

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and helpful staff! Will stay here again!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Well placed very walkable and accessible to metro, will say the parking and valet needed to be more obvious. Valet said parking was 68 a day front staff said it was included. Just confusing but overall great vobe"

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Mag Mile for a work trip. The staff was helpful and courteous. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The room was clean. The soaps and such in the bathroom were Crabtree & Evelyn and smelled great. The one downside was the AC unit/temp control in the room. The system was on a motion sensor so any time you left the room it kicked off (which is fine! Save energy!). However it also meant it would turn off when you were asleep. Both nights I woke up to a warm room and would have to wave my arms around or walk to the bathroom to reset the system. Not great!"

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at the River Hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean rooms and property. Prime location for many activities in Chicago, as one can walk virtually everywhere. Many restaurants in the area in addition to attractions. A wonderful hotel."

Hyatt Regency Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very nice and clean. Except for some hair in the bathtub from the previous guests"

Warwick Allerton - Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first time in Chicago, and we would definitely stay here again. The hotel is clean, quiet, and so pretty. (with an art deco vibe) It’s also located in a great area, very easily walkable to most shops/attractions/etc that were already on our list. The staff was so friendly. I wish I got the name of the lovely lady who was so generous to my friends and I. Overall such a nice comfy place to stay at!"

The Wade

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly, bar was nice, but don’t go to Timmy’s for food or good drinks. And don’t drink the water in the room"
