Top Theater on the Lake Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful stay!"

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is so friendly. The location is amazing. I wish the coffee was 24:7 maybe it was just like an off day or so. It was just empty a few times but I sleep in. I loved this place"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"We were on the 3rd floor, which was very quiet. Our room was nice and comfortable. It's downtown so parking is a challenge. When choosing this hotel, I read that there was on site parking for $58 a night. I was fine with that but when we checked in, I was told that there was no in/out allowed. So, we paid $82 per night for valet parking. We checked in around 9pm. The lobby was fairly empty but there was a DJ playing very loud music. I had trouble hearing what the front desk clerk was saying to me, especially when explaining the parking situation. We would stay there again as the location was perfect for walking to the Harry Potter Store!"

The Willows Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This will be my designated place to stay when I visit Chicago! It was within walking distance from good restaurants, shops and access to the gym provided by the hotel! The staff were amazing and very friendly. This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Very cozy and clean!"

Best Western Plus Hawthorne Terrace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Strange configuration for a hotel: the lobby and some rooms are in one building, and the other rooms are in a different building. You have to go back outside to access your room, and that's not cool if it's raining. The bed was "lop-sided" with one side having been used more than the other. Nice neighborhood, though."

Villa D' Citta

"Very elegant !"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

"The staffing was great exspecial Charlie was excellent with his customer service skill. I definitely will stay again."

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

8/10 Good

"I feel like we were catfished by the hotel. The bar that is supposedly in the hotel is not open and the lobby is empty of any amenities other than a TV playing movies. The staff wasn't friendly. They were polite when you draw their attention but they aren't going to interact with you unless you start the conversation. My husband and I stood at the front door trying to figure out how to get inside because some of the signage was confusing and when we call the phone number for the hotel there was no answer even though we could eventually see someone sitting at the front desk. Our room had several pieces of hardware that was not securely attached to the wall and the tile was chipped in the bathroom. The bed wasn't attached to the wall and squeaked anytime there was movement. Two days of our four day stay our room was not cleaned by housekeeping. The extras package is not available at the hotel location but at it's sister locations in other parts of the city so be mindful if you purchase it. The room was small but clean at check in. The L tracks run past the hotel so there is some train noise but it fades into the background as time passes. Overall the hotel is fine if you just want to have a place to sleep/shower. It's a nicer hostel and the L station is a 5 minute walk."
