Top Lower West Side Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful. It has an amazing breakfast buffet, an amazing terrace with great drinks. The staff is super helpful and friendly. This hotel is a 10/10 for sure!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"First, I’m going to say that price and location wise: it’ll be my go-to place in Chicago. I really enjoyed the room and was impressed by the view we got. As someone who’s frequently made trips to Chicago, it felt like Chicago to me. And the pizza, bagel and ice cream right next door was a bonus. What I found frustrating was that the texting line didn’t work. I had to call because I could not get answers via the text service they kept promoting. Also, the upgraded package, which apparently was for everyone, was not well explained. For example, I was traveling with a child, and they didn’t tell me that they would be counted for breakfast despite them only being part of the whip cream club, I wasn’t told that the drink tickets and the $10 dinner was available at any time on weekends, despite a time limit posted on the website. I found out by eavesdropping that the TV actually worked and that the internet was easy to access. But, the staff, as people, seemed really kind. They just don’t seem like they communicate well with each other as my card wasn’t working despite having called. They seemed extremely hard working. And, I’ll say it again - for the price and the location - I will stay there again."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the perfect location to watch the river get dyed. Because we were there for St Patricks Day, the elevators were a huge problem to get down from our room so ended up taking the stairs. This is not the hotels fault by any means. There is a small restaurant and bar. We only got drinks from there. The decor was great and we were so comfy in our bed. I would definitely stay here again!!"
