Top East Side Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The cool thing about the location is that it's close to a park for scenery, the museum, the art institute and baseball field. The older side of the hotel needs updating in their rooms, and needs a bigger or faster elevator. A.C/heater panel was stuck, so needed someone to get it opened. The floor rug in the hall needs to go, and probably a bigger front desk area for their workers it looked cramp in there. Staff were cool."

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough about this place. 5 stars all the way. The staff was fantastic from the moment we pulled up to check in until the moment we loaded the car to leave. Arriving in our room we were happy to find that there was a separate bedroom area. The view was phenomenal from our 15th floor room. The pool in the top floor also had stunning views. I can't wait to stay here again!!!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

2/10 Terrible

"BEWARE: I booked and paid for this hotel a month in advance. My train was delayed a few hours, so I arrived at the hotel about 7pm. However, I completed an echeck-in at the hotels request at 1pm. Upon arriving, there was a short line of people waiting to check-in and they were upset and asking to speak with a manager. When I got to the counter with my 2 kids, I was told they sold my room and there wasn't anything available for us. And on top of that, the money I had paid for the 2 nights stay was not refunded yet. I had only taken a some money with me for our daily activities so I had to use our daily living money to pay for another room that was a 30 min drive outside of the city. Completely ruined the trip I had planned for my daughter's birthday. The young girls running the front desk showed no remorse at all for leaving us with no place to stay. Their reasoning was that the hotel had sold out by 2:30 even though check in wasn't until 4. I had to call Expedia to get my refund and the hotel told Expedia that they were experiencing some technical errors with their booking system. A complete lie. So beware if this hotel. A reservation and prepaid room mean nothing. They will leave you on the streets of Chicago without blinking their eyes. Shameful . They sent me a text, while I was sitting in their lobby trying to figure out where I could stay on the money I had left ."
