Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North

10/10 Excellent

"I really like the place. Room service was very helpful. The breakfast was on point. The two free drinks with snacks were excellent. I would go again."

Hyatt Place Chicago/River North

6/10 Okay

"Staff is amazing from receptionist, to waitress and manager. But the cleaning was poor as far as bathroom wise, sleep sofa mattress was also pretty bad to the point that my hips remained hurts. It is in front of the fire stations so, watch for it, also the emergency light keep flashing in your face if you sleep in the couch, it should have better place to put the light. Location is good and again, amazing staff"

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

4/10 Poor

"When I made the online reservation the picture showed 2 beds in a separate area than a sofa & tv. That's not what I got when I opened the door to my room. There was only 1 room with the 2 beds & a desk & 1 chair. 4 people in the room had to fight over who got to sit in 1 chair!! Not happy & when I went to the front desk about the issue I was told they don't have suites at that location. Then why was I shown that during my reservation process, making me think that's what the room would look like? Also asked for an additional chair & was told only 1 chair was given per room. That also made me unhappy. Housekeeping was only going to come every other day. I made it known I expected it daily. The lounge area in the lobby has old furniture that needed to be replaced & updated. Staples were coming thru the ottomans & cutting legs."
