Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Nice rooms and great location"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very professional and helpful. The room was Amazing!! The view was sic!! The rooftops ambiance was very cozy even in the cool evening."

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

8/10 Good

"Great location and friendly staff! The suites were spacious and met our expectations. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again."

The Wade

8/10 Good

"I don’t know if this is normal but u can always hear the elevator all night long going up and down, Beds are hard, not my ting"

Hotel Versey Chicago Lincoln Park

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the hotel was immaculate—from the rooms to the lobby and the restaurant. The location can’t be beat. And the staff were so helpful. The one downside is that the elevator was being repaired, so we had to use the staff and service elevator to get to the higher floors. This wasn’t bad, and maintenance on elevators is important; it was just mildly inconvenient. But what can you do? Hopefully the regular elevator will be back up soon. Even if it isn’t, that’s no reason not to stay at this fine hotel."

The Willows Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location for the property, lovely area and very near Lincoln Park. The staff were friendly and lovely and very helpful when I had an enquiry. The rooms were clean albeit a bit dated but did the job."

The Neighborhood Hotel - Lincoln Park

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious suite and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I was only in town for work so I wish I had more time to enjoy this great hotel. It’s perfect if you’re in town to explore Chicago — there’s even a cooler in the room to take to the beach!"

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely remarkable place! It genuinely feels as though a beautiful piece of historic Italy has been transported into this Chicago neighborhood. The architecture, thoughtfully selected ornate decor, warmth, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly welcoming. This is not simply a place to stay. It is an experience. And then there is Gina! Her hospitality is in a class of its own. From preparing a wonderful breakfast to serving homemade banana bread, she has a natural gift for making guests feel like family. Frankly, she could teach a master class in hospitality. I almost hesitate to share just how exceptional this place is because once people discover it, I have no doubt it will become a destination in its own right. Having stayed in countless places from California to New York, I can say without hesitation that this property stands among the very best. It sets a new standard for character, comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality. There is something special about a place that manages to feel both first-class and like coming home. Gina and Don, you have created something truly extraordinary. You didn't just get this place right. You knocked it out of the park! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I would return in a heartbeat."

One block from Lincoln Park and the zoo

10/10 Excellent
