Top Back of the Yards Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best location possible. Loved the river and night skyline."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"St. Clair hotel lists the room as premium, even though the two windows in the room had no view. Both windows faced the building outter exterior brick walls from all sides. Dim lightning with no direct sunlight, very depressing to look out. The room should have been listened and offered as standard, at best, not premium."
