Top Lincoln Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, bed are lower to the ground but really comfortable! Staff is great and the location is amazing."

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was nice, friendly, and helpful. Hotel was clean, and centrally located to many different attractions. There were different modes of public transportation and restaurants nearby. Would recommend this place."

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

8/10 Good

"Nice to have a full kitchen, but it was scarcely stocked. The breakfast was included but the starting time was somewhat late (7am), and it should have had oatmeal as an option. The construction noise wasn’t too bad and glad to see they are shutting down completely to finish the remodel. This facility was an overall letdown compared to other Sonestas we’ve stayed at."

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location with excellent staff!"

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great value and location, comfortable bed with nice bathroom and useful exercise room."

The Willows Hotel

8/10 Good

"Well located, clean and great service but the rooms area dated"

The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing locations and staff!"

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely remarkable place! It genuinely feels as though a beautiful piece of historic Italy has been transported into this Chicago neighborhood. The architecture, thoughtfully selected ornate decor, warmth, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly welcoming. This is not simply a place to stay. It is an experience. And then there is Gina! Her hospitality is in a class of its own. From preparing a wonderful breakfast to serving homemade banana bread, she has a natural gift for making guests feel like family. Frankly, she could teach a master class in hospitality. I almost hesitate to share just how exceptional this place is because once people discover it, I have no doubt it will become a destination in its own right. Having stayed in countless places from California to New York, I can say without hesitation that this property stands among the very best. It sets a new standard for character, comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality. There is something special about a place that manages to feel both first-class and like coming home. Gina and Don, you have created something truly extraordinary. You didn't just get this place right. You knocked it out of the park! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I would return in a heartbeat."

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

8/10 Good

"Nice property in a good location. I was concerned about the reviews I saw. However the key is if you don't want the extra charges everyone was concerned about. Don't book the All Inclusive Room Rate. Book a Room Rate Only. I was not charged the extra fees. The Train tracks can be loud at times, but didn't bother me when sleeping. If your a light sleeper. Something to consider. Wish their was a gym on site otherwise nice property."
