Top Daley Plaza Hotel Reviews

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

4/10 Poor

"Room felt dirty. Carpet made me have an allergic reaction. Bathrooms were tiny and cramped and had little fruit flies flying all over the shower. AC unit was finicky, either made room too hot or too cold. Bed was insanely uncomfortable. My spouse and I kept sinking towards the middle of the mattress and causing back pain for me throughout the night."

Arlo Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"We would definitely stay here again. The location is great so much to do within walking distance. Having so many great places to eat in the area we weren't able to visit the downstairs bar/restaurant, but I heard great reviews from friends about their food and service. The room was very nice and clean. Housekeeping came quickly with extra towels when requested. Everyone at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately I don't remember everyone's names. I do remember Antoine who helped us with our bags and storing them before our check in. He was Top Notch, very friendly and went out of his way to even help us with our luggage into the Uber on the way out."

Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly and hotel was very clean! It’s in a great location and we enjoyed our room a lot! I took off a point because when we asked for fresh towels, they never came to our room and we had to ask again. But overall very comfortable and pleasant stay!"

Congress Plaza Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I will say this hotel was ok to stay in for a 4 day event. However, the air conditioning in the room barely worked and our room felt muggy and warm. It was the same case with the refrigerator, barely worked to keep things cold. The walls were paper thin and we could hear every conversation the room next door was having. The lobby was lovely and very kept up with, however the upper levels where our room was located were not in the best of shape (peeling paint, chips in walls/floors). No space on sink to place things in the bathroom, only a small glass shelf to keep bathroom items. We may have just gotten a room in an older wing of the hotel, but based on what we saw most of the hotel was the same. Only place to park near the hotel was a garage - no free parking came with the hotel stay. But if you get lucky there’s a small spot to pull your car up to the hotel."

Freehand Chicago

8/10 Good

"My stay at Freehand Chicago was very satisfying. Overall, the value for the price is excellent; it’s hard to find a place that offers this level of quality at such a competitive rate. The location is absolutely great, making it very easy to get around the city and enjoy all the key spots. The only downside was that the room had a slight musty smell, which could be improved. Aside from that, the hotel is very good, the facilities are pleasant, and the atmosphere is very positive. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a great place to stay without overspending."
