Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good value."

Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was great from the moment we checked in. We arrived at about 10 am and the front desk let us check in early for a $25 fee which was well worth it. We booked a queen corner room with city view. Room was extremely clean and quiet. Our room was 2318 and it has a fantastic view. Would definitely stay here again."

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms were cute and clean. The beds were comfortable, and the shampoo and amenities were nice brands. It is right in the city, so it was quite loud, and the elevator wasn't working. That was a struggle the first day, but they got it fixed by our second day. I would have loved this hotel if we had a refrigerator to keep things cool, which was a little tricky since it was so hot outside. Even having water provided in the hotel would have been helpful. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to go back. The location is great for sightseeing, and you are definitely right in the heart of downtown Chicago."

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were absolutely wonderful. Every encounter with a staff member was pleasant and friendly. The doormen were exceptional with their assistance to me and my husband by aiding me in loading my husband's mobility scooter that we rented and it was very heavy. They were kind, helpful, friendly and compassionate and I appreciate them very much. The breakfast was delicious and very abundant with selections of breakfast food from all over the world. The coffee was strong and yummy, and I never say that about brewed coffee unless it's brewed by myself plus I was a barista for 18 yrs. My husband was happy every morning with his filling selections and variety of items. The bacon was perfectly cooked and their chicken sausage is the best! The French toast was wonderful also. The view from our 25th floor room gave us many spectacular sites, from colorful lights, to bustling sidewalks and vibrant city life. The city skyline at night from the rooftop bar at something I am unable to adequately describe other than they were remarkable in way I am unable to remark on, other than beautiful and amazing. This trip meant a lot to my husband and I for a few reasons. One is it was our first time away together in over 17 years and two, he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in December on 2025 so we made memories on this trip we will treasure for years to come. The staff even assisted our cousins who met up with us by letting/helping them set up special surprises for us. Top notch."

The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about the hotel especially with the parking garage. My truck could without any problem and I’m thankful for that. As soon as my friend and I were checking in it was just welcoming arms. The hotel is in a perfect spot downtown I can’t lie and it’s a great location everything is walking distance. So from here on out anytime I come to Chicago I will always stay at this hotel."
