Top Chicago History Museum Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and very helpful staff. Great location!"

The Whitehall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"DeMario was a terrific help at the front desk every day! Staff was great and the room terrific and met l our needs. Shower great, TV not a high quality but it worked quite well. Only downside was a poor internet that would not allow me to listen to many podcasts and was slow on our gadgets. Gym was great too! Obviously the location was superb with shops and restaurants everywhere and we could walk to most everything in the Loop! This element is very important for travelers and needs serious upgrading immediately!"
