Top South Chicago Hotel Reviews

Kasa Magnificent Mile Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is well located for experiencing any of the sites Chicago has to offer. You can easily walk to downtown, the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier and Millenium Park. The rooms are spacious (we had a Standard King) and well appointed. There are several stairs that lead from the entry and bathroom to the main part of the room. Makes the room feel bigger, but could be dangerous in the dark. They offer an amenity package that is worth the small added charge especially because the breakfast buffet is excellent."
