Warwick Allerton Chicago ★★★★
"I stayed at the Warwick Allerton Chicago recently and honestly, it struck a really nice balance between historic charm and modern comfort. The building itself has that classic Chicago character—it’s been around since the 1920s and even has landmark status—so you immediately feel like you’re staying somewhere with a bit of story behind it. The biggest highlight for me was the location. Being right on the Magnificent Mile made everything incredibly easy—shopping, restaurants, and even spots like Millennium Park were all within walking distance. It’s one of those places where you can step outside and instantly be in the middle of everything, which made the trip feel effortless. My room was also clean, comfortable, and large. Overall, prime location and solid comfort without going over-the-top expensive. A really good find on Trip.com."

Best Western Grant Park Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is quite close to the exhibition center, about a 30-minute walk. There's a park nearby, and it's not far from the lake either. However, the hotel staff had a poor attitude; they were unwilling to provide disposable toiletries, though the guy who helped with luggage storage was good. The room facilities are old, soundproofing is bad, and the bathroom has no extractor fan – the alarm even went off after a shower if the door wasn't closed. It's definitely not worth $350 a night."

"fThe hotel is quite new, clean and tidy inside, the soundproofing is a little poor, and the service staff is very friendly. The hotel is in a good location, close to Navy Pier, One Mile and Century Park. The breakfast variety is also OK."
