Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

8/10 Good

"Na"

The Wade

8/10 Good

"The hotel property was beautiful; however, the staff was less than accommodating. During check-in, three groups waited 10 to 15 minutes before receiving assistance. While we were waiting, a staff member entered the office directly behind the check-in desk, where another employee appeared to be engaged in a conversation. That employee could clearly see the three groups waiting but allowed the door to close and did not offer assistance. The groups continued waiting for several more minutes before the same staff member emerged from the back office to assist guests checking into their rooms. On Monday morning, my wife and I went to have breakfast in the restaurant. A sign at the entrance clearly stated, "Please wait to be seated." We stood there for approximately ten minutes while several staff members looked directly at us without acknowledging our presence. After losing patience, I walked down the stairs and asked if someone would be seating us. One of the staff members then informed us that we could seat ourselves at any available table. While the property itself was impressive, the lack of attentiveness and customer service from the staff detracted significantly from our overall experience."

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is an entirely different experience sitting in the middle of a wonderful experience. The staff were so amazing helpful and attentive. It was our anniversary and a bottle of champagne was waiting in our room. The breakfast and happy hour on the rooftop is something that you just have to experience for yourself. Just WOW. Location was perfect. Next trip to the Windy City we know exactly where to stay."
