Top University of Illinois Chicago Hotel Reviews

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

8/10 Good

"Great hotel for a Chicago stay. The location is great and this is a solid hotel. A smidge shabby but nothing horrible. I've stayed here multiple times and am always satisfied. I didn't really use any of the amenities, so I can't comment there."

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Check in with tablets is silly and irritating while Guest Services Clerk stands at the desk."

Hilton Chicago

8/10 Good

"Everyone so nice but long lines to check in."

Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean and quiet. Conveniently located for us to enjoy a night out in the city and still walk home."

LIVN - West Loop Chicago

8/10 Good

"Dryer"

Central Loop Hotel

8/10 Good

"Small but clean and pleasant room."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was kind and helpful. Location was convenient"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"First the good: the location is great, right on the river and easily walkable to the Loop of the Magnificent Mile, etc. I arrived early and asked to check my bag, but my room was ready, which was nice. Somehow I got a fabulous upgrade to a comfortable spacious corner room on the 38th floor with the most spectacular views (views plural). When I returned later to rest before dinner, I couldn’t stop looking out the windows—what a show at sunset! The bed was very comfortable, although really really high off the ground. Everything seemed clean. Now the not-so-good: lighting was very sparse in the room—half the room had no lighting at all. No place to charge devices—hello, this is 2026. I had a little trouble with the temperature and there was no way to call downstairs—everything has to be handled in the app. So do stay here, but bring a charging station to plug into the wall—which is far from the bed."

Sentral Michigan Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, spacious rooms. Matt was outstanding! On arrival our request for higher floor corner room was honored. Loved the room! Would stay again!"
