This place was once Ray's professional photography studio, and as a fellow photographer, I really appreciated the connection. Talking with Ray about birds and his travels was one of the highlights of my stay. The indoor parking was a huge plus—no more worrying about weather or finding a spot. Breakfasts were generous and delicious, and the staff went out of their way to explain all the amenities in the building. There are plenty of fun games for kids, making it a great choice if you're traveling with family. The whole experience felt warm and personal—like staying at a friend’s home. I loved every moment, and I’d definitely come back whenever I visit Chicago again.
We had an amazing time staying at The Robey in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. The area has such a relaxed, cool vibe with tons of great shops and cafes nearby. From the moment you step inside, the hotel impresses—both the exterior and interior design are absolutely stunning. It’s stylish, charming, and packed with unique spaces: a rooftop bar, a retro '90s-inspired lounge on the second floor (where you get a free cocktail!), and multiple dining options. We loved both bars—the atmosphere was electric and the drinks were top-notch. Our queen-size room was cozy and well-appointed, though a bit tight for two adults with four suitcases. That said, everything was spotless, towels were changed daily, and the minibar was always stocked. The $25 daily fee covers all beverages, gym access, and pool use—so really, you’re getting value without extra charges. Just be aware: this fee wasn’t clear during booking, so the total price felt higher than expected. Still, it’s totally worth it. The vibe here is one-of-a-kind, service is flawless, and even the bathroom amenities are from Le Labo—yes, that’s a big win. If you're visiting Chicago, don’t miss The Robey. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience.
This is my third stay at this hotel, and I can confidently say it’s become a favorite whenever I visit Chicago. The room is consistently spacious and comfortable, and this time around, the mattress was especially cozy—felt like I slept through the night without a single disturbance. Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. The breakfast options are a bit limited and don’t vary much, but everything is fresh and well-prepared. It’s not gourmet, but it’s satisfying and reliable. The location is fantastic—close to the medical campus and downtown, with easy access to public transit. For the price and overall experience, it’s an excellent choice. Definitely coming back next time.
I was genuinely impressed by how spacious the hallway felt—almost like a private residence rather than a hotel. The public areas are beautifully designed, with a modern and inviting vibe that sets it apart from typical chain hotels. Located right within the UIC medical district, it feels safe and well-connected. Just a short walk to both the Pink Line and Blue Line stations, making downtown Chicago easily accessible. Taylor Street is nearby, offering an amazing variety of restaurants—from casual eats to more upscale options. Plus, there’s a bus stop right outside the front door, which makes getting around incredibly convenient. This place combines comfort, safety, and location perfectly. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Staying at Wicker Park Inn was such a refreshing change from the usual hotel experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond—friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful with local tips and recommendations. The room itself was beautifully decorated, clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. I especially loved the thoughtful amenities: high-quality linens, a well-stocked mini-fridge, complimentary coffee, and modern bathroom fixtures. It felt more like a stylish boutique stay than a standard hotel. Located in the heart of Wicker Park, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring Chicago’s vibrant neighborhoods—great cafes, shops, and nightlife are just steps away. I’d absolutely book again and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting the city.
My stay at Ruby Room Hotel was absolutely delightful. The room was incredibly comfortable and quiet, making it the perfect retreat after a day of exploring Chicago. It's perfectly located just steps away from a wide variety of dining options—great for breakfast, dinner, or late-night snacks. I loved how convenient everything was, and the staff were friendly and helpful. This place truly makes your visit to Chicago feel seamless and enjoyable. I’d definitely come back.
I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago Medical District UIC and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort for a relaxing stay. The breakfast buffet was excellent—fresh, varied, and delicious, especially the hot options. While parking comes at an additional cost, it’s worth it given how close the hotel is to downtown Chicago and major medical facilities. The fitness center is large and well-equipped, and having a pool on-site is a nice bonus for those who want to unwind after a long day. One thing to note is that daily housekeeping isn’t provided, so I’d recommend bringing your own essentials if you’re staying longer. Overall, this hotel offers great value, convenience, and a clean, modern atmosphere. I’d definitely return and highly recommend it to travelers looking for a reliable, no-frills stay in the area.
