Top Near East Side Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to the pink line, river is walkable distance, lots of restaurants etc. close parking if you don’t want to pay valet. Downside: no coffee in the room, they have it in the lobby but I like a good garbage coffee before I get dressed (Starbucks is attached as well if you want to pay for coffee). Second was many of the restaurants close on the weekend since it’s the business district."
