Top Steppenwolf Theatre Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel with good vibes and great amenities and games in the basement."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Room Rate Vs. Guest Club Charges Explained. We were very concerned to read that this hotel applied additional charges when checking in. Several Trip Advisor reviews confirmed that an additional per night Guest Club charge was applied over and above advertised room rate charges together with another charge should you require additional services. HOWEVER, if you booked through a third party booking site the advertised rates are ALL INCLUSIVE and no extra charges are applied. This is not entirely clear so dependent and how and with whom you booked with. There were some negative issues but I'll try to summarise the plus and minus bits to help you. 1. WHAT IS INCLUDED There were no additional charges over and above what we expected to pay as confirmed in our booking email. We received vouchers for breakfast for each day of our stay / 2 free drinks per day from the bar and a discount per day on any meals ordered from the hotel restaurant together with 2 x bottles of water per guest per day. 2. ROOM Very basic & somewhat austere but functional (not as shown in some of the pictures). Good bits are a separate lobby room next to the bedroom with 2 TV's (1+1). The Queen sized beds are a touch too small for a really comfortable night sleep. 3. BREAKFAST BUFFET Absolutely 1st class with a wide choice available and eat as much as you like. 4. STAFF Really very helpful who could not do enough to please. Special Thanks to Ken, Mikaela & Will."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Everything was good, the breakfast was excellent and location was central and withing walking distance like Navy Pier and we were right around the corner from Harry Potter Store! There was also an in-and-out garage two blocks away so we could come and go as needed for parking. It is right by a hospital so sometimes the ambulance noise was rough. We also got a room (3120) that was behind the elevators and was disruptive and the elevators took forever to get up and down during peak traffic times."

4BR Modern Urban Escape, Walk to Zoo, Lakefront & Red Line

10/10 Excellent

ENVITAE Hotel, 4BR Luxury Modern Apartments

8/10 Good

"Nice place to stay near Lincoln Park. For us and our adult kids, it worked well to have 4 beds and 3 baths and a kitchen. They weren’t ready for us at Checkin time, but they did allow us to leave our suitcases and return after shopping. It was definitely clean and convenient."
