Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value for the price. Clean enough and well located."

Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

6/10 Okay

"My room was just okay. Location is great. Water pressure is just ok. Sink drain was stuck closed had to pry it out and leave it out all weekend. Shower design is goofy, water sprays all over the floor lol. The sink faucet was bizarre. Had like 2-3 inches under the water before your hands hit the sink? Almost zero place to put anything in the bathroom. Had a pedestal style sink, but a cheap vanity top from Home Depot would’ve been miles better. No idea why they went with this design. Nightstand drawer just casually stays open all the time. Other than that it was pretty decent. No major issues."

Congress Plaza Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Our hvac unit in the room was one of the loudest I’ve ever had the displeasure of sleeping near. Had to turn it off to get sleep. Great views but definitely some historic wear that needs new paint in halls, elevator entries, etc. front doors were partially defunct our entire stay. No onsite parking available for length of stay - must use 7th st garage nearby for affordable parking"

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

4/10 Poor

"The hotel is clean and in a good location. The bathrooms are spacious and the showers were excellent. The rooms, however, are long, narrow, and cheaply furnished, with awkward closets and water-restricted faucets. The hotel feels designed to cut costs, without passing any savings to guests. Tile floors and walls may be easy to clean, but they do not feel comfortable or upscale. The staff were unfriendly and arrogant. Despite requesting two rooms on the same floor, we were placed on the 5th and 14th floors. The key cards would not allow elevator access to other floors, and even after reprogramming, they still did not work. When I called the front desk for help, the woman hung up and never called back. At breakfast, the staff member seating guests was openly flirting and winking at one of my guests, making her uncomfortable. Overall, I would not return. I visit Chicago often, and there are far better hotels available."
