Eurostars Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"My stay was nice not far from shopping and restaurants. The staff were friendly , valet parking is available . They’ll park your vehicle next to the hotel in a parking lot. My only request is for microwaves in the rooms."

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is very helpful, always ready to answer any question about the hotel or about the city of Chicago. The hotel is very clean , the breakfast is very good with many choices and the staff in the restaurant is excellent. My wife and I stayed in that place for eight days and seven nights and we are very happy to be there. Also the hotel is in a very good location very close to some of the most important places of Chicago. If you want to visit the beautiful city of Chicago do not miss the opportunity to know this hotel."

Aloft by Marriott Chicago Mag Mile

6/10 Okay

"The property was nice, but the rooms very small. Unfortunately the rooms on Expedia did not provide images of all rooms. The rooms I saw had sitting areas and appeared large/divided. The amenities were ok. The place was clean but appears to not be as quality as expected. (floor lifting from water etc. ) Minimalist approach/ attempts at sleek design; but appeared cheap. No closet! Hangers on rack above coffee maker area. Fridge under sink. No real place to place clothing. Remained in suitcase which remained on floor since no luggage valets. I did not use my own due diligence and had looked at so many properties that I did not realize the pool had no hot tub. The staff was great. Check in/front desk very accommodating."
