Top Merchandise Mart Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"For us, a hotel isn’t just a place to sleep—it defines the entire trip. From the moment Demetric J. warmly welcomed us at check-in, we felt truly special. The location is unbeatable, and the rooms are lovely, but stepping off the hot, bustling pavement of Michigan Avenue into the cool, tranquil lobby felt almost regal. Add in exceptional dining and an incredible pool, and the InterContinental is officially our go-to choice in Chicago."

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, located in the heart of Chicago made getting around convenient. Would book again."

Hyatt Regency Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Terrible wifi"

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The staff was great and the breakfast was cold and the ding chair seats were worn and should be recovered."

THE MIDLAND HOTEL, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Needed a quick hotel. The room is very cutest, very clean, and calming. They have a bar downstairs, if you're into that and offer loose leaf tea + coffee in the lobby, staff is pretty helpful. Breakfast is not free / complientary. It's $30 extra, so plan ahead if that's important to you. Room is cute and clean, overall. And the building easy to find."

Hyatt Place Chicago/Downtown - The Loop

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great! The hotel was clean and in a great location. I had a wonderful experience! I would definitely revisit this location"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago River North

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying at the property. Very clean the staff was very pleasant and helpful. Will return"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay"

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"I can see why this place is rated 8/10. I would agree with that overall. Some pros: it is excellent for location, as it is in a prime area of the city, close to a lot of sites and accessible by transit. We didn't drive but parking is a nightmare in Chicago. I wouldn't blame the hotel for that. The room was very spacious, huge ceilings, giant closet, comfortable bed, lots of windows, renovated, and clean. It is a very nice, art-deco style of building, well maintained with some old charm. The cons: the light woke us up every day, as there were no internal curtains, just decorative ones. This needs to be changed immediately. Also, there was no climate control. It was either on or off. You could control the fan speed but that's it. A lot of people complained that the toilet was running. Ours wasn't. The room got noisy at times but that's also not the hotel's fault, as we faced a main road. Keep that in mind while choosing a room. The staff weren't overly friendly but were professional and seemed helpful. For what we paid, it was well-worth the price, as Chicago can get very expensive. Kanye West happened to be performing there for two of the three nights we were there. I think we booked before this announcement or we would've had to pay triple. So, we can't really complain about value."
