Top Chicago Water Tower Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff is amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful. The only downside of my stay is the bed. It is super firm! No pillow top here."

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location and friendly staff!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"The housekeeping was NOT included, so we had to make our own bed or pay and extra 35 USD for the housekeeping"

The Whitehall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"There is no ice or water station in the hotel, they do offer water bottles but if you like to avoid those, the tap water from the sink in the bathroom was fine. Breakfast was an additional charge but that is no big deal if you like to sleep in anyways. The Paris Baguette in the lobby area was great and the staff was very kind. The TV had Netflix to log into, which I appreciate."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"We were in a room next to the elevator and you could hear it all night but Chicago is a noisy city anyway. That being said the room was clean, staff was very friendly and we would stay there again."
