Freehand Chicago

8/10 Good

"Has an older hotel personality. Definitely not five star, but ok. Staff was great. Apparently not all rooms have a TV which iriginally took me back. Ended up in bed early for the three nights I was there and all was well"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

"."

Swissotel - Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled from Cincinnati Ohio and the room on the 36th floor had a great view of Lake Michigan. Valet staff for parking was excellent as well. Highly recommended if you’re planning to visit Chicago."

Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel room was clean and bigger than expected. The room was quiet and we had free drinks at their happy hour. The location was close to all the things we did. Will stay here again!"

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"To quality service from every staff member. Great views. Upgrade to the gold rooms for a wonderful view and access to the lounge. Lounge breakfast and dinner and dessert is WORTH THE $."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great night in a great room!"

theWit Chicago, a Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Staff was excellent everywhere we interacted. Water pressure and temperature control was top notch. Left extra towels on the second day which speaks to me in a good way. Took some of our party time to adjust to the L train sound but that is to be expected. A little sound is an easy price to pay for being so close to the river and broadway. Road construction in front of the hotel threw multiple ubers for a loop, suggest walking a block and ordering one from there unless the construction is gone when you get there."
