Top St. James Cathedral Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"."

Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great 3-night stay at the Hotel Felix. The location is fantastic, close to lots of bars, restaurants, and public transportation. The room was small but the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We couldn't figure out how to work the night stand lights but this was a minor issue. The staff were very friendly and helpful and they allowed us to extend our check-out time by an hour. Make sure to enjoy their free coffee, including cappuccinos, and fresh fruit offered in the morning. Would definitely return next time we visit Chicago!"

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"I wish there were ice on the 2nd floor with the coffee and water station. Also would have liked some non-caffeinated tea options. Overall the stay was nice. A great central location for walking to many different places. It felt safe to be outside at night and the river view was nice."

Kasa Magnificent Mile Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean! Great location & close to all the activities we wanted to do"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very functional. They try to make it a nice experience by adding all the extras like music on weekends. I wish they they’d paid more attention to the basics like comfy pillows or bed sheets that were correctly sized to the bed. Ours were too small."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Very centric hotel; just at the core of downtown. Property was clean and well maintained"

The Wade

8/10 Good

"Convenient location and loved the room."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great night in a great room!"

Warwick Allerton - Chicago

8/10 Good

"Our stay was wonderful overall! The only negative things I would mention are that our room was pretty small and the mattresses were quite uncomfortable. We also booked online but were surprised to find out that a $180 deposit was required at check-in. Parking was another challenge, as there weren’t many convenient options, so we had to use valet parking, which cost $77 per day. Other than those few things, we really enjoyed our stay!"
