Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in a great location, I stayed on the 23rd floor, the room was brilliant but the windows did not shield the sound of sirens all night!"

Warwick Allerton - Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Botique hotel"

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

10/10 Excellent

"All in all I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff was really friendly and helpful the rooms were clean and comfortable, literally no complaints. I stay in Chicago a few times a year and this will likely be my new go to and is pretty much the best deal in river north."

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely a great location."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Lovely bar and Champagne room. For our first couple of nights the rooftop was inviting with firepit and sofas. Gorgeous! Last night, it had been almost emptied! Staff was so friendly but not very informative about the area. Room is very basic. No coffee maker in room. The soaps and shampoos very minimal. A grand hotel that seems a little tired! I believe room makeovers are scheduled!"

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Historic hotel that has some upgrades and modern amenities. The lobby bar could use some upgrades and a second working elevator on the South tower would have been helpful on busy days."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is fine to me. The breakfast needs improvement."
