Top Near East Side Hotel Reviews

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

8/10 Good

"Not bad hotel, nice design, but stuff is not friendly, not welcoming. Nothing bad in general. We had one incident at the first day - we found the previous guests personal things on the chair. It was very unpleasant to understand that nobody clean the room properly. When I tried to call the receptionist I realized that the phone doesn’t work. Nobody apologizes by the way."

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"What an excellent location. 7 minute walk to Red Line, 3 minute walk to Michigan. Mattress and pillows were excellent. Highly recommend!!! Others noted in reviews they were surprised by the property fees and or fees, I booked thru Hotels.Com as Room only and had zero issues."
