Top Essex Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Love the breakfast buffet, worth every penny! The kids love the spacious rooms! *Quick tip: to make the room more modern, please change those small tiny cheap frames on top of the beds for XXL rectangular or square canvas! It will elevate the presentation of the room! Overall 5 stars!"

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to the pink line, river is walkable distance, lots of restaurants etc. close parking if you don’t want to pay valet. Downside: no coffee in the room, they have it in the lobby but I like a good garbage coffee before I get dressed (Starbucks is attached as well if you want to pay for coffee). Second was many of the restaurants close on the weekend since it’s the business district."
