Top Chicago Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent
"The property was very well maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. No complaints at all. However, I noticed on several occasions that food was being delivered by kitchen staff to rooms and the trays were uncovered. The public elevators were used and in my opinion that was very unsanitary. Other than that, everything was good."
