Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"The room is nice, big with a bed which is comfy and the Wi.Fi works just fine. It wasn't the cleanest. If you look a bit under the chairs or in the corners there was plenty of dust. Breakfast is ok and they were very kind to make an earlier one for the marathon"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"All of it."

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

10/10 Excellent

"Parking right around the corner. Well lit. Good location."

The Willows Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, friendly staff"

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"a bit old building, non reliable internet, noisy in the rooms facing Michigan, friendly staff"

Hotel Versey Chicago Lincoln Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay overall! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the hotel and surrounding area were clean and felt safe. The only minor issues were with the room itself. It was quite hot, even with the window open, and the street noise was noticeable. However, we spent very little time in the room, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. One thing to note is that the parking information listed valet parking, but valet service was not available. Instead, there is a self-parking garage just a short walk from the hotel. Other than these small inconveniences, everything was great. The friendly staff, cleanliness, and safe location made for a very pleasant stay. With a cooler, quieter room and more accurate parking information, this would easily be a five-star experience. We would definitely consider staying here again! Oh and if stay go to the restaurant for a burger and tots you won't be disappointed"

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"Very elegant !"

Near Zoo and Beach • Reading Nook + Parking

10/10 Excellent

"We were a group of four adults and enjoyed our stay in this apartment very much. It is in an old building but is recently renovated and is very clean and comfortable. Having a parking spot is certainly a bonus, although if you don’t plan any day trips outside the city you could probably manage without a car. The location is excellent – a metro station, a grocery store and many cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Communication with the host was outstanding. All our questions before and during our stay were answered within minutes. We would gladly stay here again."
