Aloft by Marriott Chicago Mag Mile

6/10 Okay

"The hotel itself was nice, located in a great area for walking the streets of downtown Chicago. So many nearby restaurants and shops. The only negative during my stay was the front desk receptionist. I could definitely tell they would like to be anywhere but there. Definitely not welcoming! "

Holiday Inn Chicago Dwtn - The Mart by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The room was spacious for a family of four, overall it was a good stay but 1. My booking included parking, I was there for 3 nights and I had to come down every day and tell you guys to remove it from my bill. 2. Please let your guests know kids eat free at the buffet. We didn’t know this but the waiter was nice enough to ask if we had vouchers for the kids. That’s how we found out we didn’t have to pay for the kids breakfast. 3. When I went to get the breakfast vouchers on our last day, I went down to the first floor at 6:30 am and when I asked the person behind the desk he seemed annoyed and said sure. Almost like if I was asking for something i wasn’t supposed to ask for. 4. When I called for room service, the person who answered said they would be there as soon as they started 9:30. It was 11am and I had to call again. Finally someone came over but not until I called again. I needed my trash picked up and clean towels. 5. Last, around 6am on our last day at the hotel I checked my bank account and I had a charge for the buffet and parking fees. When I checked in they put a $200 hold on my account for any services or damages to the hotel. My parking was already paid for. 6. Quiet hours are from 9pm to 9am which make no sense because the people at the bar are super loud."

6/10 Okay

"El staff es un poco malhumorado Cuando tienes preguntas, la mayoria. Los tickets de comida o drinks gratis en realidad son descuentos, tienes q pagar. Excepto por el desayuno, solo use una vez cada uno, no me agrado, sali afuera. Regrese todos los demas tickets al hacer checkout. Gracias"

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is amazing, Great location, super clean and stuff was kind, informative and very respectful! The breakfast was well organized considering the amount people served! Not a missing items at any moment! The rooftop bar was very pleasant place to sit and chill. Strongly recommended!!!"

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

8/10 Good

"Convenient location for travellers. Rooms are quite old and the housekeeping is not very good because we found some leftover food in the closet when we checked in and had to change to another room. Also all the coffee cups in our room are not cleaned… I mean you can see the stains in the photo"

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a recent trip to Chicago and overall the experience was okay. The location is convenient for downtown attractions and Millennium Park, and the hotel itself was clean and comfortable. Staff were generally polite and check-in was fairly smooth. The rooms were decent, though some areas felt a little dated for the price. Amenities and service were fine but nothing especially memorable. It worked well as a place to stay while exploring the city, but I expected a bit more considering the reputation and cost. Good option if location is your priority, but not necessarily a standout luxury experience."
