Top Near East Side Hotel Reviews

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, hotel was very modern and loved the window nook in the room"

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay at the River Hotel in Chicago! The location is absolutely perfect—right on the river and within walking distance of many of the city’s best attractions. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. Great value for such a fantastic downtown location—we would definitely stay here again!"

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The room was really oddly laid out (It's an older building), but everything looked and felt nice. It has a nice modern look to everything, and the water was really hot which is rare for most hotels, especially in Chicago in my experience. The location is absolutely fantastic for downtown shopping, parks, pier, food. Two minute walk to the heart of the Magnificent Mile. There was a fridge, microwave, and coffee machine in the room. We stocked up on fresh pastries from a fantastic bakey a few stores down, and went to the 7-Eleven on the corner for drinks for late night snacks. I've stayed at maybe 10 different hotels in this class in Chicago and I think this is one of the better ones. For parking, just an app and save some(A LOT) money. Lots of garages nearby that discount heavily with apps."
