The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time over two days in Chicago. The only downside was that my room was not cleaned when I returned."

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

8/10 Good

"When we arrived our room was dirty. There were used wine glasses, hair beads and rubber bands, and used water bottles. We called and the staff rectified immediately by moving us rooms. Valet was great and so was Micheal Jordan’s Steakhouse. Our bathroom shower had black mold and the vanity was broken and appeared to be glued back together, otherwise nice stay."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

4/10 Poor

"This review reflects both the hotel and Expedia’s handling of the booking. The good: The location is excellent and very accessible. The common areas, including the lobby and bar, are pleasant and well maintained. The bad: The hotel is showing its age. The AC struggled to keep the room comfortable (both temperature and sound wise), and the carpet and floors felt dirty. Housekeeping did not refill basic toiletries before our stay. The restaurant was disappointing, especially considering the many better dining options nearby. The ugly: Expedia failed to clearly disclose a mandatory “recreation fee” charged by the hotel. In our case, it added $142 to the cost of the stay. After seeing similar complaints in guest reviews, I called Expedia before arrival to clarify. The representative told me that the amount I paid through Expedia should be the only amount due and that I should contact Expedia immediately if the hotel attempted to charge additional mandatory fees. Upon arrival, the hotel presented the extra charge exactly as described by other reviewers. I called Expedia again and, after a lengthy conversation, was told someone would call me back within five minutes and that I would receive a follow-up email. Neither ever happened. Whether the responsibility lies with the hotel or Expedia, the result was the same: unexpected charges, conflicting information, and no follow-through from customer support. Based on this experience, I will not be using Expedia again."
