Top Chicago Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice place to stay"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Good location and mostly everything was kind of just average — took about 15 min to check in BUT check out was <1 min. Need to make it up a couple of stairs with your luggage to get in the lobby. Elevator wait could take a few minutes but nothing too bad. Room was large and nice view but there was no closet or anything to hang clothes with/on. The shower has a shower curtain which wasn’t very hygienic. They clean every 3 days and they call it a “unique hotel experience”. It was nice that every night if we needed water the main desk has bottles. Overall, it’s just very average. It was nice enough, clean enough, good enough."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The hotel and the room were very nice. It was right across from the hospital which was were my husband was at. I had a king size bed and it was quite spacious. The amenities in the room were okay but the bathroom had everything from the shampoo, bath wash and hair dryer to help so that you don't have to bring those for your visit. They also will supply you any bathroom amenities if you forget anything. The only thing that I didn't particular care for was that they only had a refrigerator but no microwave and the ice machine didn't work on my floor so I was forced to use one on the opposite elevator for any time that I wanted ice. Other than that I would recommend this hotel if you are in the area."
