Top Downtown Chicago Hotel Reviews

Silversmith Hotel Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff went above and beyond for us. We got in real late after midnight and they were extremely accommodating. Since we were flying all day on my fiancé birthday i had asked for them to leave a little happy birthday note in the room when we arrived. They left a birtday card and a box of whoppers for her. That was amazing. The whole staff was top notch. "

Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, but basic. The restaurant and food was great. The staff were very helpful and most were friendly. The location was excellent, a safe neighborhood with many restaurants and nice stores including Whole Foods in short walking distance. I'd stay here again. Try eating at Meli and Nancy's Pizza."

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast menu was good but I was staying all week and I felt a little entrapped to pay for full breakfasts every morning since I stay there the year prior and there was plenty of complimentary items at the buffet that was included to fill me up. The free breakfast item options were pretty thin. I understand the people from the street walk in and just try and take all the free breakfast buffet but sounds like a security problem and not a guest problem. "
