Warwick Allerton Chicago
8.6 (357 reviews)

Warwick Allerton Chicago ★★★★

📍 701 N Michigan Ave, Chicago

"The hotel's exterior is beautiful, and its location is excellent, making it very convenient to get anywhere. Many attractions are within walking distance. The hotel is like an apartment, and while the room doesn't have much of a view, it's spacious enough and quite good."

Hyatt Regency Chicago
9.0 (142 reviews)

Hyatt Regency Chicago ★★★★

📍 151 E Wacker Dr, Chicago

"The hotel boasts a truly excellent location, outperforming some pricier options. It's incredibly convenient for catching a cruise, right at the doorstep! The ground floor was quite lively, so much so that I initially mistook it for a shopping mall! However, after a two-day stay, I realized it's simply the hotel's distinctive atmosphere. The rooms are quite spacious, though the facilities are a bit dated. I imagine if they were new, the price point would be considerably higher. Breakfast at the restaurant was good, and the service was very attentive – I even left a tip! Valet parking is available, which is extremely convenient. I'd definitely consider staying here again next time. Thumbs up!"

HI Chicago Hostel
9.0 (93 reviews)

HI Chicago Hostel

📍 24 E Congress Pkwy, Chicago

"The rooms are spacious; a quad room wasn't cramped at all. Two quad rooms share one bathroom, shower room, and a living room. The ceilings are very high. You might still need an eye mask as it can be a bit bright on the upper bunk."

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile
8.8 (261 reviews)

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile ★★★

📍 10 E Grand Ave, Chicago

Reliable, centrally located hotel steps from top shopping, featuring comfortable rooms, an indoor pool, and a cooked-to-order breakfast restaurant.

Best Western Grant Park Hotel
8.2 (81 reviews)

Best Western Grant Park Hotel ★★★

📍 1100 S Michigan Ave, Chicago

An affordable South Loop stay overlooking Grant Park, offering simple comforts, an on-site diner, and it's super handy to the city's top museums.

Riu Plaza Chicago
9.1 (122 reviews)

Riu Plaza Chicago ★★★★

📍 150 East Ontario Street, Chicago

"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."

Best Western River North Hotel
8.2 (48 reviews)

Best Western River North Hotel ★★★

📍 125 W Ohio St, Chicago

Highly affordable city centre option offering free parking—a rare city perk—plus a rooftop deck, indoor pool, and great neighbourhood walkability.

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago
8.5 (106 reviews)

Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago ★★★★

📍 221 N Columbus Dr, Chicago

"I saw the cleaning staff using a bath towel to clean the toilet, I don't know if it's a routine operation... The soundproofing of American hotels is not good. The guy I saw in the elevator suspected that he had a bruise. The facilities are OK. Because of Saint Patrick's Day, the price doubled. The disposable items were not changed the next day. The deposit was $100 a day. The breakfast was OK, but the takeaway would not be delivered."

HI Chicago Hostel ★
"Amazing hostel. Literally the best hostel I’ve ever visited (I tried 5). The location is amazing. Theres no deposit. They provide 2 rltowels, 2 sheets, warm blanket. Im 162 tall and there was enough space for me. There’re shampoo and soap in the bathroom. Room for 10 girls was spacious! The kitchen has fridge and freezer. Also, there’s a water fountain for a clean water. They also have wending machines. They also can receive a package for you for an additional charge. Another cool thing is that they can keep docs and money safe in the lobby. No breakfasts. Hostel offers so many activities. I felt really comfy to travel as girl. There’re some homeless dudes sleeping not far from the hotel, but they don’t bother others. I walked once at 8 pm and I wouldn’t recommend to repeat such experience. District is good, like it’s literally the city center, but it comes dark, there’re very weird dudes on the street."

"I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was in a great location. I ubered and walked to anything I did. My most expensive uber was $29 and that’s because I went 30 miles away from the hotel. It was very clean and I felt safe as a woman staying by myself. Well stay again."
