Top Chicago Defender Original Site Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"I can see why this place is rated 8/10. I would agree with that overall. Some pros: it is excellent for location, as it is in a prime area of the city, close to a lot of sites and accessible by transit. We didn't drive but parking is a nightmare in Chicago. I wouldn't blame the hotel for that. The room was very spacious, huge ceilings, giant closet, comfortable bed, lots of windows, renovated, and clean. It is a very nice, art-deco style of building, well maintained with some old charm. The cons: the light woke us up every day, as there were no internal curtains, just decorative ones. This needs to be changed immediately. Also, there was no climate control. It was either on or off. You could control the fan speed but that's it. A lot of people complained that the toilet was running. Ours wasn't. The room got noisy at times but that's also not the hotel's fault, as we faced a main road. Keep that in mind while choosing a room. The staff weren't overly friendly but were professional and seemed helpful. For what we paid, it was well-worth the price, as Chicago can get very expensive. Kanye West happened to be performing there for two of the three nights we were there. I think we booked before this announcement or we would've had to pay triple. So, we can't really complain about value."

Jaslin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"For the price you pay the hotel is nice the location is elite"

Chicago Lake Shore Hotel

8/10 Good

"The best part was the parking, I didn't have to fight for a spot in an area where parking is at a premium. Worst was the lack of hot water in the shower. it was hot but the sink was better. Also the bath tub was slippery and I felt unsafe. Cleaning/house keeping was good."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Chicago Chinatown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing, food was good, location is wonderful. It’s down the street from the bustle but you’re still in Chinatown."
