Top Central Chicago Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment my party entered the hotel, the staff was extremely helpful. Check-in was quick and easy and the employees working the desk were friendly and genuinely personable. Even the security staff was helpful and informative anytime I had a question. The hotel interior is designed beautifully and the amenities are convenient and easy to find. The building felt historic, not old, and the modernization decisions were sensible and fit the style. The room was very clean and the space was comfortably sized for our party of two. Everything was functional and felt well-maintained and the view from our room was still nice despite being mostly interior-facing. It was honestly one of the nicest hotel stays I've had in years and I would gladly return if I have another event nearby in the future. I highly recommend it."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"My problem with most hotels is that they put throws and decorative pillows on beds. These are things that are never washed and incredibly gross. The second issue is they usually have a flat sheet, some kind of comforter and then a top. The comforter is also rarely washed and unfortunately exposed so there’s often hair and gross stuff in there. L7 is INCREDIBLY CLEAN. Their bedding is simple cotton white sheets and nothing else. That’s bold and speaks to their confidence. The linen is so comfy and I had one of the best sleeps of my night. Apart from that, the face mask was a wonderful touch along with the high quality soap/shampoo/lotion. It was also really nice to have a free coffee machine and Perilla restaurant attached. I’d 10/10 recommend. Amazing hotel!"

6/10 Okay

"I haven't stayed at a hotel/hostel before, so I don't know if my expectations were unreasonable. First, the good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. The hot water and AC were plentiful. I felt safe and wasn't bothered by noise from neighbors. I didn't see any bugs. They even had a live musician during at least one of the evenings I was there. Now the bad. We had a private quad. It was dirty. The walls, some of the bedding, the bunk bed curtains were stained and gross. We found trash from the previous guests. There was so much dust and debris, especially in the part of the bunks that held the mattresses. The shower curtain and tiles were moldy. The room needed a good scrubbing and a fresh coat of paint. I wouldn't stay there again unless they improved their housekeeping."
