Top Illinois Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great and we chose this location because of all of the nearby shops and food options. The only real downside was we realized its very close to a fire station so there were sirens going off super often. Was very difficult to get used to that when it isnt our norm. Other than that, this was a good experience!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice. The 29th floor bar was cozy and provided a great atmosphere overlooking the streets of Chicago. The room was spacious enough. I loved the wall art and the wall mural behind the bed. I love it had a microwave!! I like the room had a sitting area where you could dress or visitors could sit. Although when I first walked around the room, the bathroom had few hairs on the sink and there was no liquid soap but it had a small bar soap. It was also weird to have a few stairs in the room to get down to the bed area. As a solo traveler, I didn't like that my room was a corner room. I am not sure if that is the standard for this hotel when booked as a individual stay or booked through hotels.com."
