Top Harold Washington Library Center Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Chicago Dwtn - The Mart by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Ubicación"

Hilton Chicago

6/10 Okay

"They were kind of rude about us wanting to carry our own luggage. Our “lake view” room we wanted was not lake view. It faced the other building and you could barely see the lake. Having a kid who wanted to swim, they had us on the 25th floor. And came to clean our room, they took all of our towels and gave us one new one for 3 ppl. We had to go find someone to get more towels. And we had to ask twice for more coffee cups. The lady in the gift shop was awesome! Probably the nicest person we ran into there! Parking is crazy expensive too. The grab and go place is insanely expensive for a quick grab place. No sauce or anything on the dry sandwiches."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

8/10 Good

"Older hotel that needs some renovation, but the rooms were thoroughly cleaned each day, fresh towels, and linen, and a friendly staff. The rooms were large and roomy, and the bathrooms were spotless! The water pressure was very good and it had very hot hot water that did not run out, just the way I like it!"

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very good in general (clean, friendly and professional staff, quiet etc.). However, the location is unbeatable. Literary, it is a couple mins from river, right on the edge of loop and north downtown area, about 10-15 min walking distance from museums, 30 min walking distance from Navy Pier, and very close to many many restaurants. Our room was also pretty quiet, so there is no problem of sleeping at night. I strongly recommended just because of the location, but the rest of qualities are also very very good. Strongly recommended!"
