Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

2/10 Terrible

"The hotel did not have the confirmed room type I reserved. Very disappointed in my stay and the staff at the hotel."

Congress Plaza Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was clean for the most part. Corridors smells like soap because I truly believe the housekeeping works hard to keep them that way. Unfortunately the hotel was just old and needs much needed upgrade. The bathroom was looking noticeably old too and the water in the bath area needs to be at certain angle to release enough pressure and hot water. Still doable and workable with but maybe not for $600 a night... Our room ended being family suite which we didn't realize upon booking much and the front desk didnt debrief it until we reclarify it after. The first receptionist almost said the main room was not part of our room until another lady came to correct her (thankfully). I do wish that the picture of the property on expedia is more reflective to the current hotel situation though. Because it looks similar but the actual looks way older than it actually is...."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! I wasn’t sure what to expect since I didn’t know much about the hotel beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and welcoming, especially the team at the bar, who provided excellent service throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax. The hotel has a lot of character, and you can tell it’s a historic building, which adds to its charm. At the same time, the décor is tasteful and well maintained. The surrounding area is very walkable, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely stay here again."

Freehand Chicago

4/10 Poor

"Not for me. It was like a hostel, but $450 a night. All the lighting was dim and yellow, and the shade in our room was broken, so it was a struggle to even get natural light. The dim bathroom fixture also buzzed loudly. There was no fan in the campground-inspired bathroom, the elevators were incredibly outdated, and when I went to the front desk to ask for an extra pillow, I was told they didn’t have any more pillows. I went to the desk in person because there was no mechanism to call from the room, even by calling the hotel from my cell. Never again. I will say that housekeeping and maintenance staff we encountered were very friendly."
