Top Des Plaines Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, spacious, big windows where you can see everything. Stocked with everything you can think of (snacks, drinks) at a cost, but convenient. Location at millennium Park was a 5 minute walk to Riverwalk. The staff was accommodating. I loved everything about the luxury stay."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was hands down the best I ever dealt with in any hotel I have stayed at. The girls in housekeeping were very very nice. The property overall is a little dated but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and will consider it for future visits. We were 20 min from boats 20-25 min to soldier field it's a great location if you want to go to the festivals or a concert nearby!"
