Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Room w/super small and no little fridge."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

8/10 Good

"We chose a room with a river view. It was magnificent. The staff were pleasant and helpful enough. In particular the door person, Christy, was very friendly and helpful ( Thank you). Our room was clean and spacious and we really liked the big shower. We checked out the restaurant at the bar for happy hour which was quite good. They do give a discount for guests. If you go for breakfast, make sure you have a bit of extra time, as the kitchen was a bit slow and the bacon and potatoes were a bit overcooked to our liking. Other than that I it was a great time. It’s well situated that we were able to walk to most places. We Andy’s and the Green Milll (cash only venue)for music, Second City comedy club, hockey and the Art Institute to round out our four day trip."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"When I checked in Alexsia greeted me warmly, she thanked me for being a VIP with Expedia and told me the benefits—no one has ever done that before. She welcomed me back and made me feel valued. The room I was upgraded to was so nice. The rooms are always clean, quiet and functional. The beds are comfortable and I sleep well in this hotel. The restaurant is always amazing and consistent. Thank you Alexsia for another great visit!"
