Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North

10/10 Excellent

"GOOD BREAKFAST, THE ROOM WAS CLEAN. THANK YOU."

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in the kitchenette with convenient microwave and silverware and plates so I can have small meals with my family. The bed was very comfortable. I think the sofa bed was OK. The hotel location is very convenient. Very close to all the destinations we planned my stay included parking in a self parking building which was about seven minutes from the hotel. It was very convenient because it is in the middle of the downtown so very useful to have a parking spot. The check-in was very fast and stuff very friendly."

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

6/10 Okay

"My neck and my back are killing me and the staff forgot to give me my breakfast vouchers until my 3rd day. Then they refused to compensate me instead told me to go to complain to "Expedia". Cool. Great service. The lobby restaurant is decent. The staff there was cool. Sit at the bar and have a handshake. "

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great about the breakfast except the hostess that seated me. Everyone else at the hotel was friendly but she seemed to be put out seating me. She was on her phone at the front stand the entire breakfast after begrudgingly seating me while all the other staff was friendly and accommodating. Almost made me not want to go back."
