Top Lakefront Trail Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Property was a little outdated however the river view and the location cannot be beat. We got to see the bridges go up to let sailboats in from our window. The only thing that ruins the view is the huge Fascist Dictator tower right in front of this building. Other than that, location was excellent for a tourist base for Chicago."

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious rooms."

Sentral Michigan Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"The parking situation was a little confusing but a great stay nonetheless!"

Jaslin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are pretty small but very clean. They’re in the middle of China town so you can step out of the hotel and immediately find great places to eat. They’re also right between a bus stop and train station so it’s super convenient to get downtown. Second time staying here and would stay again!"

Marriott Marquis Chicago

8/10 Good

"beautiful hotel and very comfortable clean rooms. not many food options and the prices are outrageous. I live in NY and haven't seen prices like this anywhere. yikes"

McCormick Suites by Slumber Stay

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute flat in the middle of all the fun things Chicago has to offer! Comfy, clean, and it smelled so great!"

Chinatown Hotel Chicago

8/10 Good

"The location is wonderful, and if you're looking for a no-frills place to stay and you plan to be out and about all day, this is a great option. The building has seen better days, but it's everything we needed it to be. Also, it was very quiet for sleeping at night, very little traffic noise, etc. Would definitely stay here again."
