Top Harold Washington Library Center Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean, location was fantastic, close walk to some of the sights we wanted to see & the lakeshore. Didn’t have any issues with safety. Service at the restaurant they have there was extremely slow. We would stay at the hotel again."

Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely will be returning. The room, staff and location was excellent!"

HI Chicago Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"My cubby was lockable and conveniently close to my bunk. For accomodating so many people cleanliness managed around the same I would have expected from a nice hotel. Nice laundry units and decent sized community kitchen. This was a fantastic experience. The staff were super helpful and the tour guide was a lovely old man who was very kind and knowledgeable of the area. I would definitely stay here again."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at L7 was excellent. The room was comfortable and clean. The amenities were nice. The staff was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The hotel was built in 1912, so has some quirks that come with age, but I think adds to the ambience. The location is convenient to train lines, with a short walk from the blue line if you're coming and going from O'Hare."

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

"Great location, friendly staff, tasty breakfast."

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Decent location and room was spacious. Hotel doesn’t have much options. Literally good for just sleeping not like a staycation."
