Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel! It was very clean, chic, updated, and modern. I stayed here for a solo trip, and the room was extremely spacious, definitely more than enough room for just me. The location was one of my favorite things about the hotel. It was very central, and so much was within walking distance, including Millennium Park, restaurants, and many of the attractions I wanted to visit. It made exploring the city really convenient because I could simply walk to most places. The staff was also very nice and helpful throughout my stay. I had a late flight on my last day, and they allowed me to store my luggage at the hotel after checkout, which made things so much easier. My only small complaint was that the only full-length mirror was in the bathroom. Other than that, I had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again!"

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful experience. So close to the river walk and activities. Staff was so helpful and attentive and property was clean and comfy! Highly recommend!"

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time in the city of Chicago. I was very happy with my choice of where to stay. It's in a great location. Close by was the Riverwalk, which was gorgeous. You could walk it or utilize the seating provided and just enjoy the sights and sounds. There are so many choices for dining nearby within walking distance, and we hit a lot of them during our four-day stay. Millennium Park is nearby, which was very nice. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful with recommendations. The lobby provided a great seating area if you just wanted to relax or maybe work on your laptop. They have a concession area for snacks and a restaurant if you didn't want to venture out. I have nothing bad to say about this hotel and I enjoyed my stay very much. This will be my go to place when I return to this beautiful city."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Old hotel! Front desk wasn’t helpful l, ask for several things and they never showed up. No A.C., coffee pot broken, ran out of toilet paper and towels. No ice in machine, vending machine served hot beverages. Maintenance men were very nice, Christian at the bar was excellent! I’ll never stay there again."

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel! Really nice, clean, staff was incredibly friendly. We got the Fairmont gold room edition and it was totally worth it having food and drinks available during the day. We ate breakfast there each morning and it was great! Would definitely stay here again Next time we come to visit."
