Top Chicago Water Tower Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The only complaints we have are probably because this is a European owned hotel chain and the differences are between what we expect in a US hotel. You hear a lot of languages spoken - this hotel is favored by international visitors. There is no clock in the room, and my husband had a problem with that. The seats on the toilet are quite uncomfortable, this is obviously something that can't be changed. The two queen beds are pushed together, so it is difficult to get in and out from the center position and, while you could move the beds, it isn't easy because the space is tight. On the positive side, the included breakfast is fantastic, with daily specials and such a wide variety of foods that you have lots of options for a multi-day stay. The security is tight - you must swipe your room key to choose the floor on the elevator every time, so no strangers are arriving on your floor. The hotel is very conveniently located."

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel and great walking distance to many attractions. Breakfast area was nice and room was large and clean."
