The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience on my first trip to Chicago"

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room and the facility were just right, and the location was lovely. But the best thing about the stay was the helpfulness and interest from the staff. From upgrading our room (to include the great view!), to helping us find one of the five Starbucks Roasterys in the world, and storing our luggage after we checked out, the service was personal and effective. Jock was especially helpful, and really seemed to enjoy helping us with every part of our stay. I would definitely return to this hotel for my next Chicago visit."
