Top Indiana University Northwest Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was great. However, the carpet smelled and hallways reeked of smoke. The elevator took forever to open and close."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I stayed here in August for the BTS concert. Everything was so clean and the staff were extremely friendly. I love that you could grab a refreshing glass of water or a cup of coffee and just walk right out the door. The location cannot be beat. We were able to walk absolutely everywhere. I’m so thankful that we chose this hotel to stay at. We will definitely be coming back."

Best Western Grant Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Came for the taste of Chicago and was a very nice hotel."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Cerca de todo , limpio y el personal muy atento"

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay, room very clean and cleaned daily. Staff were attentive and helpful. Nothing to write home about but a comfortable place"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown South Loop

8/10 Good

"Overall the location of this property was excellent for exploring the city. The room was well maintained. My only complaints are: I didn’t get the extra towels I requested for my room. No biggie, there was quite a few people staying there so I’m sure they just didn’t have any spare. My other issue, while waiting in the lobby for the elevator with my daughter and husband, a staff member came out of the elevator and apparently I was blocking the staff door. Instead of saying excuse me she just yelled at me to “Move!” In a rude manner. Otherwise I had a very nice stay and would definitely recommend Homewood suites to anyone who wants a good place to stay!"

Jaslin Hotel

8/10 Good

"I honestly loved staying here, if you are trying to stay in chicago on a budget, here is your place. Best place you are going to stay for the price. It is close to the city and lot of options to choose to eat. It has everything you need. Id recommend this place to anyone visiting chicago."

Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The room did have a noticeable adhesive-like odor, similar to what I'd seen mentioned in another review. While it wasn't severe enough to ruin my stay, it was a little distracting. Guests who are sensitive to smells may find it bothersome. Despite that, I'm still giving 5 stars because I believe the hotel staff would have quickly resolved the issue by moving me to a different room if needed. I had just returned from the YE concert and was too tired to go through the process, so I decided to stay in the room. Overall, the staff and experience still deserved a positive rating."
