The Hotel & Athletic Club at Midtown

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight—definitely one of the best experiences I've had in Chicago. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from downtown attractions and public transit. What really stands out? The fitness center—it's top-notch with modern equipment, open 24/7, and perfect for anyone who loves working out. I accidentally left my necklace behind in the room, and while I haven’t heard anything yet, I’m confident they’ll take care of it. The staff are professional and attentive, and the room itself was clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Great value for the price, especially if you're traveling for business or pleasure. This place truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and quality. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the city.

The Willows Hotel

The Willows lived up to my expectations based on the reviews I’d read beforehand. As a historic boutique hotel, it’s not overly spacious—rooms and bathrooms are on the smaller side—but everything was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly throughout our stay, which was a big plus in the summer heat. Located in the Lake View neighborhood, it’s conveniently close to local attractions and public transit. If you're looking for a cozy, no-frills stay without the luxury price tag, this is a solid choice. A great little gem in a fantastic area.

Old Chicago Inn

Staying at Old Chicago Inn was an absolute delight! The historic charm of this bed and breakfast truly sets it apart. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the clean, safe, and welcoming atmosphere. The shared living space—including a well-equipped kitchen—was perfect for relaxing or preparing light meals. A complimentary continental breakfast was a nice touch, offering a quick start to the day without having to go out. My room had a half-bath, which was surprisingly convenient and added comfort. Located just steps from public transportation, getting around downtown Chicago was effortless. There was a minor delay during check-in, but the staff handled it promptly and professionally.

Majestic Hotel

We absolutely loved our stay at the Majestic Hotel! We came to Chicago for a Cubs game, and this hotel was the perfect choice—just a short walk from Wrigley Field. We were able to check in early, which was a nice touch, and the parking situation was surprisingly convenient. Yes, it was a bit on the higher end of the price range, but considering the unbeatable location and how special this trip was, we didn’t mind splurging a little. The building is older, but that’s part of its charm—there’s character here that you don’t get in chain hotels. Sure, some guests mention the wallpaper or carpeting, but honestly, it’s not a franchise, and it delivered exactly what we expected: a cozy, authentic downtown experience. We’ll definitely be back when we visit Wrigley again.

The Villa Toscana

I absolutely loved my stay at The Villa Toscana! From the moment I arrived, everything felt special. The location is perfect—just a short walk from downtown Chicago and surrounded by great restaurants and shops. The room was spacious and beautifully designed with a cozy Italian countryside vibe. Lying in bed and looking out at the lush garden was pure bliss, like I was on a mini vacation in Tuscany. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything, even offering local tips and helping with luggage. It’s rare to find such a warm, welcoming atmosphere combined with top-notch comfort and value. If you’re visiting Chicago, this hotel should be your first choice. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed, from the decor to the daily amenities. It’s a fantastic value for the quality, and I’d definitely come back. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chicago.

Inn at Lincoln Park

The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Lincoln Park, just steps away from greenery, trails, and all the charm of downtown Chicago. This 1930s-era building has clearly been thoughtfully repurposed, and while some architectural quirks remain (probably from its original use), they add character rather than detract. The space is clean, well-maintained, and feels cozy and welcoming. Staff are friendly and genuinely helpful—always a plus. While not the cheapest option on the block, the price feels fair given the prime location and comfort level. If you value being immersed in nature without sacrificing convenience, this hotel delivers exactly that.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from check-in to checkout—always smiling and ready to assist. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and cozy, with clean linens and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was a real highlight: fresh fruit, hot coffee, and a variety of options that made starting the day feel special. Located just steps away from public transit, getting around downtown Chicago was super easy. For the price, this place offers unbeatable value. I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Chicago!
