L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! great staff!"

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"Older hotel but well maintained. Check in took longer than expected. However, the staff is welcoming and professional. We had breakfast at the on site restaurant. Server was super friendly and accommodating to the vegans in our party. Valet parking was convenient although pricey. Location is super close to the Millenium Park, shops, restaurants, and the riverwalk."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

8/10 Good

"We had a good stay overall! The staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The location was definitely a highlight—it was within walking distance of many restaurants, attractions, and other places we wanted to visit, which made getting around very convenient. The room and some of the hotel areas do look a little outdated, but everything was comfortable enough for our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would definitely consider coming back again!"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

8/10 Good

"The location and room itself worked well for us after a wedding on the Southside and using a Spot Hero parking place. The breakfast was very good, made fresh with good options but the tables needed to be bused and wiped down. The lobby needed tending to as well"
