Top Illinois Hotel Reviews

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"."

Hilton Chicago

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is incredible, and the amenities were great (very nice gym, pool, etc…all in good order). A few frustrations with our stay, housekeeping didn’t visit at all 2 of the 4 days we were there and we needed to contact the desk for towels etc… Also the street noise was VERY loud at night, especially on weekend nights. Highly recommend earplugs to sleep with. Staff were all nice and friendly. Although there were staff in the lobby trying to stop and sell everyone some sort of Hilton timeshare (that was kind of annoying). We will be happy to stay again, but will bring earplugs (and better pillows) for our next stay."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"Nice place. Great location. One thing that did annoy me. They put a 100.00 hold on my card for every night I was there (three nights -300.00). I asked them when I would be reimbursed and they told me in 5-7 business days. I thought the purpose of giving them your CC was so they could charge the card at the end of the visits. Now they basically steal your money for the length of your visit. Here’s the math. They have 381 guest room. Assume they are full. Average length of stay is 3 night. 381x300 equals 114,300.00 that they get to hold for a week plus. Royal Sonesta is a chain of over 1000 hotels. Now they are holding 114m of our money (rough math). At a 9 % return, the parent company makes 10 million plus on our temporary invested. Kind of tired of getting screwed at every opportunity."
