Top Lincoln Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was a very convenient location from downtown and Lake Michigan. Definitely one of the better breakfasts I've had recently and the pricing sits just right for the amenities and convenience this hotel offers"

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, valet parking, very helpful staff, and uber's and taxis avaliable in front of the hotel. Very close to everything downtown."

The Sono Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Lovedddd"

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Slight wear and tear on the furniture dates the place and I wish the rooms were brighter, but excellent location and great value. Loved the shower!"

The Willows Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was friendly and attentive. Room was clean. Lots of food choices. It felt relatively safe, which is important to me. No complaints about the hotel or my stay. However, parking can be a bit tricky; the nearby garage does not have in and out privileges. You can park on the street, but spaces can be scarce. I got very lucky and was able to park on the street for zero dollars!"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location!"

Hotel Lincoln

Villa D' Citta

"This was the best lodging I've ever had in Chicago. Not sure I'd stay on Michigan Ave or in the Loop after this. A heartfelt thanks to the owners who trust the guests with such amenities."

The Neighborhood Hotel - Lincoln Park

8/10 Good

"Stellar location. The communication was a little lacking and slow to respond. Adorable and comfortable stay for a girls trip."
