Jaslin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Did not see an ice machine in the hall way. No microwave in the room."

Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room and hotel was clean and comfortable."

Villa Dubois Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place BUT… be careful with this place ! I booked this through Expedia and no where does it even mention a $300 deposit!! I paid for my accommodations in full while driving through the US. It wasn't until We arrived at the location I get notice of a Deposit Required before they would let us in or even give us the room number… They WILL NOT TALK WITH YOU ON THE PHONE… text only 🙄 finally i had to send proof of ID to prove I was from another country and it was only after I emailed my drivers license that they “waived” the deposit since we were classified as International Guests. Other than that “ hiccup “ then we were finally allowed to enter the property. Nicely decorated, clean and fairly close to the things we wanted to see and do."

"Nice eclectic hotel in Hyde Park. Lots of meter regulated street parking available after 7pm. Rooms are nice and cozy, however paper thin walls. Carpet in the lobby and rooms need steam cleaning.
