Top Uptown Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great experience staying here. The view was really nice and the room was spacious and clean. Loved that it was walking distance from the stadium."

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check-in was fast, the staff was nice. The room and lobby were very clean. We had a microwave mini fridge that actually worked.? We got the 24th floor and waiting for the elevator was annoying. Don't forget to tap your card before selecting floor button on the elevator. The location was great, just steps from Riverwalk entry & next to Hello Kitty Cafe Bus stops and subway station nearby. Good choice!"
