Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was outdated but did exactly what we needed"

Freehand Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Location was convenient, staff was very helpful. I had a great experience, would stay here again."

Kasa Magnificent Mile Chicago

8/10 Good

"Room was super clean and well stocked as shown in pictures but definitely starting to show some wear and tear. Front desk agent at the Kasa desk was very nice but the security at the other desk were not so friendly even when I would politely just say hi when passing by. Communication thru text and email was prompt and informative. Overall I would recommend this location for a Chicago stay. Especially when wanting something more comfortable than a regular hotel room. Convenient to two grocery stores below and one block over. Tuczo restaurant located below the apart/hotel is excellent! Many restaurants located within walking distance and close to most major iconic destinations in Chicago."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North

8/10 Good

"Very convenient to the brown line of the LTrain, and very convenient to stores( grocery/pharmacy). The area was clean and felt safe. The staff was friendly and helpful. Only complaint was our mattress needed replaced( sagged in middle) and the sheets and bed spread was old and had holes in them. Room itself was nice. Breakfast was good and had a variety to choose from. Also parking was across the street and easy to get to( DO NOT PAY at the garage like all the signs say to, you will be charged at the hotel for parking)."

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel, dated rooms."
