Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

8/10 Good

"Staff was very professional and helpful,"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean, especially bathroom, towels, dresser drawers and fridge. The water pressure was excellent - shower had options to switch between handheld vs. shower head. Very satisfied with the room (they provide 2 free bottles of water in the room, upon arrival). Housekeeping staff were very friendly. Things to note: The air conditioning could be better (stronger) as it didn't cool the room enough (temperature ranged from 74 - 77 degrees fahrenheit). Had to fill the ice bucket to help cool down, even just a little. The toilet paper holder could use some redesign (suggest replacing to a different design) as the toilet paper roll kept falling off when using. Looks nice but not functional. Gave up using the holder and just placed the toilet paper roll on on top of the water tank. If you don't mind the room temperature, then this is in a great location and is a well-kept establishment."

Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"It was great to find a clean, comfortable room close to union station. I am in a wheelchair so the steep driveway to get into the property was a bit difficult to navigate but other than that access was easy. The room had ADA accommodations that I needed and although the room was small for a wheelchair, there were innovative solutions, like wheels on the small table, so that everything worked."
