The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so nice and attentive. It was very clean. Rooms are small but we didn’t mind. Overall, we liked it as a couple and we would stay there again."

Hilton Chicago O'Hare Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It really is worth the extra cost to stay at this hotel if you have a very early flight or get in on a late flight and need a place to stay. It is literally across the street from the airport. There is a way to walk to the terminal undercover if it’s raining but if the weather is clear, you can walk 2 mins and be from hotel lobby to terminal. And leaving your car here while traveling is a bit pricey but you can at least cut that cost in half if you buy it through an airport parking app and it could not be more easy and you get valet service as a bonus."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for my husband’s birthday. It had been years since we’d been to Chicago and decided we wanted to spend the day at Navy Pier. Booked this hotel for its location. Rooms are small due to it being in an old building but they are nice and clean. We don’t spend much time in the hotel beyond sleeping so that doesn’t bother us. Plenty of restaurants around and a quick walk to Lake Michigan. Staff were friendly and helpful. A+ service. Didn’t use any amenities so I can’t comment on those. Ten to 15 minute walk to/from the L. Would definitely stay again."
