Top South Shore Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North

8/10 Good

"Staff were very nice and helpful. Room was in need of some repair. The door between bedroom and sitting area was warped and it took great effort and made noise when opening. Bathroom door looked like it was cut at the bottom for some reason and shower ceiling looked like there was water damage."
