Top Chicago Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Loved that the pool was super heated clean and amazing... This hotel is right in the center of all Chicago tourist attractions and Riverwalk is steps away... Excellent location and the breakfast buffet especially the made to order omelette chef was great too!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was a very convenient location from downtown and Lake Michigan. Definitely one of the better breakfasts I've had recently and the pricing sits just right for the amenities and convenience this hotel offers"

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This was comfortable, well-located and cheaper than many of the other options during a busy week. The best amenity turned out to be the washer and drier since I was here for a cooking class and need to wash a chef's jacket every night."

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Slight wear and tear on the furniture dates the place and I wish the rooms were brighter, but excellent location and great value. Loved the shower!"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location!"

Kasa Lake Shore Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the hotel - the room was spacious included washer and dryer, which was great because we had a longer trip plus the kitchen made it really easy to make meals. The ability for late checkout was great however, our access code stopped working at the normal checkout time which made it hard to get our luggage from the luggage locker."
