Top South Loop Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Good location"

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cool old building with a beautiful lobby (retro). Room was skinny, but so is the building. AC was loud in room, but worked well. Bed was ok, but had a big dip in it on one side. Room was very clean and housekeeping cleaned each day, unlike many hotels that do not. View was nice of river, but window was small (older building). Overall, it wasn't worth the cost because there's cheaper hotels that are newer, with larger rooms and more amenities."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

8/10 Good

"I stayed here in August and had an excellent room with two queen beds. I did choose a smaller room this time, with two double beds, but I was disappointed to not have a fridge in the room. This surprised me. I had brought some food along, and had no place to store it."
