Top University of Illinois Chicago Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"It's a fine old hotel at a great location -- just across from Grant Park, close by the Art Insititute, and within walking distance of the Shedd Aquarium. Room was clean, shower and supplies very nice, beds comfortable. Staff at front desk were competent, but a couple were not particularly friendly. Cost of stay was not exactly a bargain, but realistically acceptable. One complaint: The coffee and coffee maker in our room produced a brew that could barely be called drinkable. Coffee downstairs in the restaurant wasn't a whole lot better, cost $4 per cup, and wasn't available until 7:00 am. Really, considering the price of a stay, they should have good coffee available for free in the lobby no later than 6:00 a.m."

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were in town for a concert. The location was great and the price was good. Check in and check out was easy. They even upgraded us to a larger room. It was very appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable. The only negative was waiting on an elevator which could take 15 mins. That seems to be the way at a lot of hotels in Chicago so it doesn't matter. Would consider staying there again."

Hyatt Place Chicago/Downtown - The Loop

8/10 Good

"After checking in, everything was great. Pros: location was perfect. Walking distance to everything I wanted to do. The hotel felt safe, the room was a good size, the refrigerator was helpful, and the staff was nice when I asked a question. Cons: There are a few parking places to park while you check in (one was in front of a fire hydrant, which I’m not sure is legal). I waited about 25 minutes for a spot to open up. If I knew they didn’t have parking on site and that the parking was in a non-hotel (random) garage across the street, that would have been helpful."
