Top Lincoln Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing locations and staff!"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and property"

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean and convenient. The staff was excellent, Pedro was very helpful as we navigated the city. There were not a lot of amenities, but that was ok as we were aware of that when we booked. The lounge on the second floor was very comfortable with an espresso machine 24 hours."

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely remarkable place! It genuinely feels as though a beautiful piece of historic Italy has been transported into this Chicago neighborhood. The architecture, thoughtfully selected ornate decor, warmth, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly welcoming. This is not simply a place to stay. It is an experience. And then there is Gina! Her hospitality is in a class of its own. From preparing a wonderful breakfast to serving homemade banana bread, she has a natural gift for making guests feel like family. Frankly, she could teach a master class in hospitality. I almost hesitate to share just how exceptional this place is because once people discover it, I have no doubt it will become a destination in its own right. Having stayed in countless places from California to New York, I can say without hesitation that this property stands among the very best. It sets a new standard for character, comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality. There is something special about a place that manages to feel both first-class and like coming home. Gina and Don, you have created something truly extraordinary. You didn't just get this place right. You knocked it out of the park! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I would return in a heartbeat."

Claridge House Chicago, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are always so kind and helpful and the rooms are clean and lovely it’s like a home away from home"

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

8/10 Good

"Nice property in a good location. I was concerned about the reviews I saw. However the key is if you don't want the extra charges everyone was concerned about. Don't book the All Inclusive Room Rate. Book a Room Rate Only. I was not charged the extra fees. The Train tracks can be loud at times, but didn't bother me when sleeping. If your a light sleeper. Something to consider. Wish their was a gym on site otherwise nice property."

The Willows Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, friendly staff"

Hotel Versey Chicago Lincoln Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay overall! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the hotel and surrounding area were clean and felt safe. The only minor issues were with the room itself. It was quite hot, even with the window open, and the street noise was noticeable. However, we spent very little time in the room, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. One thing to note is that the parking information listed valet parking, but valet service was not available. Instead, there is a self-parking garage just a short walk from the hotel. Other than these small inconveniences, everything was great. The friendly staff, cleanliness, and safe location made for a very pleasant stay. With a cooler, quieter room and more accurate parking information, this would easily be a five-star experience. We would definitely consider staying here again! Oh and if stay go to the restaurant for a burger and tots you won't be disappointed"
