Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"My sister and I went on a trip to Chicago for 3 days. Our stay was quite nice. Everythin went as planned. The price of the room with all the extras was exceptional. We are treated to a beautiful breakfast every morning. Each of us got a free drink each night and we got a dinner credit for each night. We went to the Sky lounge which is just lovely and had our drinks and some really good bar food. The bartender Cade was so nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our time. Our was a little worn and dated, but it was comfortable and clean and quiet..,"

"Location couldn’t have been better. Heart of downtown. Front desk receptionist very helpful and kept our luggage until check-in. Have a nice coffee machine with free drinks on the second floor. However, found random hairs and hairpin in bathroom. Room is very basic and on the small side. Beds were comfortable. All in all I liked the hotel, more for the location than the accommodations."
