Everything was spotlessly clean, and the overall ambiance felt welcoming and well-maintained. Located just steps away from public transit, getting downtown was quick and easy. There are also plenty of great dining options nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit.

Cambria Hotel Chicago Loop - Theatre District
The hotel's location is excellent—just a short walk from the theatre district and downtown Chicago, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The staff are friendly and welcoming, with genuine smiles that make your stay more enjoyable. I especially loved the complimentary morning coffee—it’s such a nice touch to start the day right. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to relax. There’s parking available, though it’s a bit pricey—understandable given the prime location, but could be slightly more competitive. One small suggestion: after staying for two nights, I’d have appreciated fresh towels being changed daily, as they weren’t replaced during my visit. That said, this is a minor detail in an otherwise outstanding experience. Overall, the value for money is great, and I’d definitely return.
Hotel Chicago Downtown, Autograph Collection
Our stay at Hotel Chicago Downtown, Autograph Collection was absolutely outstanding. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from downtown attractions and public transit, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The staff went above and beyond, especially Demetrius, who made our experience truly memorable with his warm hospitality and attentiveness. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and impeccably clean. While the valet parking was a bit pricey, the hotel did suggest using a platform to find more affordable options. However, due to our late arrival and personal comfort concerns, we opted for the hotel’s service instead. That said, every other aspect of our visit was flawless. From the thoughtful touches in the room to the exceptional customer service, this hotel delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Chicago—this is a top-tier choice.

Staying at Hyatt Centric the Loop Chicago was an absolute delight! The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort with a cozy bed and excellent lighting—perfect for working or unwinding. Everything was spotlessly clean, down to the smallest detail, which really made a difference. What stands out most is the location: multiple subway stations are just steps away, making it super easy to explore downtown Chicago, shop, dine, or attend events without hassle. It’s a great balance of convenience, comfort, and style. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers an outstanding experience.

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile
Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile was an absolute delight, especially for someone who loves walking. The location is unbeatable—everything I wanted to see, from the Magnificent Mile to Millennium Park, was within a 3-kilometer radius and easily reachable on foot. That’s a dream for a walking enthusiast like me. Right across the street is a massive supermarket with everything you could need—groceries, snacks, toiletries—and it stays open until well past 11 PM, which is perfect for late-night essentials. On the ground floor, there’s an UNO’s Pizza that’s always packed, open until 11 PM too, and just a short 3-minute walk away is a fantastic seafood restaurant—delicious food, though a bit pricey, but totally worth it. The Red Line subway is literally right outside the hotel entrance, making travel to Midway Airport super convenient. Just transfer once to the Orange Line, then walk five minutes—entirely indoors, so no worries about rain or bad weather. The room itself was spacious, clean, and modernly decorated, typical of U.S. hotels where space isn’t an issue like in Southeast Asia. Room amenities were excellent: coffee maker, safe, mini-fridge (though keep in mind it only makes ice—my milk and yogurt froze solid! 😂), microwave, and even a full ironing board. I took advantage of that to press all my clothes before heading home—huge plus. Housekeeping comes every other day, which is standard, but any request via phone gets handled quickly. The only thing to note: if you’re sensitive to noise, bring earplugs—there are occasional late-night sirens from patrol cars, but nothing disruptive. Overall, this hotel delivers incredible value, great convenience, and a comfortable stay in the heart of downtown Chicago. If I ever return to the city, I’d absolutely book here again.
Acme Hotel Company Chicago
The front desk team absolutely nailed it—professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond with local recommendations and took the time to chat, making us feel welcome and well-informed. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made a real difference in our stay. It’s clear they care about guest experience, and that shows in every interaction. Definitely a standout highlight of our trip to Chicago.
Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North
Staying at Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Magnificent Mile, where shopping, dining, and entertainment are all within reach. I especially loved stopping by the nearby Starbucks Reserve for a morning coffee fix. The breakfast buffet was impressive, with a wide variety of options, and the highlight was being able to make your own waffles—super fun and fresh. Room rates are very reasonable for Chicago, offering great value without compromising comfort. The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean and spacious, and everything felt well thought out. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel makes it easy to enjoy the city. I’ll definitely be back.
Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop
I’ve stayed here multiple times and always impressed by the consistent room cleaning service—daily, on time, and with excellent standards. In a country where hotel cleanliness can be hit or miss, this level of reliability is truly rare and appreciated. The breakfast is a classic American-style spread: solid choices, warm coffee, fresh fruit, and good pastries. It’s not fancy, but it’s satisfying and fills you up for the day. Located just steps from the subway, getting around downtown Chicago is super convenient. I’d definitely recommend this hotel for business travelers or anyone visiting the West Loop area who values consistency, comfort, and easy access to transit.
Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-Downtown
Staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-Downtown was a great experience overall. The hotel is popular with many local Americans, and it’s easy to see why—clean rooms, friendly staff, and an excellent location right in the heart of downtown Chicago. Public transportation is just steps away, making it super convenient to explore the city. The breakfast buffet offers a nice variety with both hot and cold options, and coffee and hot water are always available. I also appreciated the free luggage storage, which made my trip more flexible. One minor downside was a bit of noise from a birthday celebration next door on the second night—soundproofing isn’t perfect, but that’s something you’ll often encounter in hotels abroad. Still, the pros far outweigh the cons, and the value for money is excellent. Definitely worth booking if you're visiting Chicago.
Holiday Inn Express Chicago - Magnificent Mile
I can't recommend this Holiday Inn Express Chicago - Magnificent Mile enough. The location is unbeatable—right across from Trader Joe's, so grocery shopping is a breeze. It's just a 7-8 minute walk to Trump Tower, and less than 20 minutes to Millennium Park. From there, it's only a few more minutes to the shores of Lake Michigan—perfect for a relaxing evening stroll. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We arrived at 10 AM, and even though check-in wasn't available yet, they gladly stored our luggage at no extra cost. When we returned around 2:30 PM, we were told to wait about 25 minutes. But instead of leaving us waiting in limbo, the staff actually came to check on us—and discovered a room was already ready! They apologized and made sure we were taken care of right away. While the amenities aren't flashy, the rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. For the price and convenience, this place offers outstanding value. I’ll definitely be back if I ever visit Chicago again.
Ohio House Motel
Staying at Ohio House Motel was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and super convenient for public transit.

The room was spotless, fresh-smelling, and had all the essentials—including thoughtful touches like makeup removal wipes for ladies. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to ensure we felt welcome. Best part? We slept like babies—no noise, no disruptions, just peaceful comfort. My friends and I were so impressed we’re already planning to come back. If you're paying with cash, there's a $150 deposit required at check-in, so be sure to have that ready. Overall, this place is a hidden gem with top-tier value.
