L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Nice Korean restaurant in lobby. Clean and spacious room overlooking Chicago River. Staff was exceptionally courteous."

Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Regina should receive more pay(that’s my 2 cents. She didn’t mention or ask me to say this about her pay)! She was everything!! Friendly, helpful and very informative. Peaceful location. I enjoyed the sounds of the city, ASMR for sure. The room was clean, the water pressure was perfect. Bed was comfortable and the pillows had the right amount of fluff!"
