Top River Forest Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"Expedia said free breakfast. There was no free breakfast. 😞"

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at L7 was excellent. The room was comfortable and clean. The amenities were nice. The staff was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The hotel was built in 1912, so has some quirks that come with age, but I think adds to the ambience. The location is convenient to train lines, with a short walk from the blue line if you're coming and going from O'Hare."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff, tasty breakfast."

The Wade
