Top St. James Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Omni Chicago Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are warm and welcoming. Hotel has a great vibe. Breakfasts are a must for anyone staying at the hotel. Lox on Sourdough was my favorite. Nancy was absolutely wonderful. The doormen are fantastically helpful and friendly too. Special mention goes out to Ham. He is awesome. We had a corner suite on the 18th floor. Spectacular views."

Warwick Allerton - Chicago

8/10 Good

"Location is key. This hotel is right in the middle of everything giving quick access to most of the major attractions in Chicago. Metro and bus transportation is in walkable distance. The room was subpar. A two queen bedroom with a carpet that appeared to have been washed maybe 10 years ago... Breakfast options were lame but there are tons of options around to enjoy. Price for 3 nights was good given the location and accessibility"

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The staff, breakfast, and location was excellent. The only negative there was no ice machine or microwave available. We had to go to the bar for ice which was inconvenient."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"I booked this facility bcos the beds were king size. Little did I realize that the beds took up all the space in the little rooms. Be mindful of the room space, if you need space this is not the place for you. Location was excellent. 2 blocks from Michigan ave and all the food amenities you can ask for. I would come here again but it would just be a few people (2) to a room."
