Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located downtown."

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean room. Helpful staff."

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Raymond was great upon check in! Other staff great as well. One issue Chicago is a sports town many guests visit coming to sporting events. We could not get ESPN with the Roku service. HORRIBLE!!! that would a deal breaker on me choosing where to stay next time. It’s a very basic service. Other than that great play convenient location"

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, hotel was very modern and loved the window nook in the room"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for a night but it was in a Great location and the staff and room was excellent. Would definitely stay again."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The room was really oddly laid out (It's an older building), but everything looked and felt nice. It has a nice modern look to everything, and the water was really hot which is rare for most hotels, especially in Chicago in my experience. The location is absolutely fantastic for downtown shopping, parks, pier, food. Two minute walk to the heart of the Magnificent Mile. There was a fridge, microwave, and coffee machine in the room. We stocked up on fresh pastries from a fantastic bakey a few stores down, and went to the 7-Eleven on the corner for drinks for late night snacks. I've stayed at maybe 10 different hotels in this class in Chicago and I think this is one of the better ones. For parking, just an app and save some(A LOT) money. Lots of garages nearby that discount heavily with apps."

The Whitehall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good
