Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The Trump Hotel In Chicago is one of my family's FAVORITE hotels in the world. We stay at The Trump every single time we're in Chicago. It's the BEST.😀👍"

LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The room was very spacious and the hotel was in a great location right in front of the Chicago River. If you don't get a room facing the river the view is terrible. You look out onto the top of other buildings. The toilet seat was not secure and we had to flush twice a few times. Our room door was loud and luckily we noticed if you don't slam the door it doesn't close. Overall the room was nice and we didn't complain but we will probably choose a different hotel next time."
