Top Centennial Wheel Hotel Reviews

Swissotel - Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience the staff was super friendly and the hotel location was just amazing right in downtown Chicago. I will definitely be staying there again.."

The Wade

8/10 Good

"Why book here? LOCATION and competitive price. Why not? If you care about hospitality. This isn't going to be the place. Some of the front desk staff were impatient and border line dismissive. No decaf, despite a sign saying it was available. Just plan to go to Starbucks about a block away for coffee of any quality. Check in evening staff, told us breakfast would be served (Marriott member) and then we weren't given the magic card. Morning staff said we didn't qualify and we got the signal NOT to bother them with unreasonable questions. Our room was next to elevator and I was glad I had my ear plugs. No coffee in rooms. Weird kinda sensual picture of red lips predominant art in room... not family friendly or sensitive to women's modern issues. Views of lake were great! Easy walking location to see Lake Shore Drive and Many other great attractions. LOVED the beach and lake. It is amazingly clear water. Just have realistic expectations that this is a place to sleep and the staff may not care or are burned out. Great service oriented humans are expensive. You're not paying for that here."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was pretty neat. Had a vibe to it. Almost a haunted 1930s vibe in the room I stayed in. Only complaint was the air conditioning. Couldn't keep up on the 11th floor. Throughout the night it caught up. Bathroom was nice, very clean. Pool would of been nice. Within walking distance to the main attractions. Da Bears, Field Museum, Planterium, Aquarium, Cloud whatever(the bean), and the Love and Marriage fountain."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"One main concern with the room is the rainfall shower head. It’s not conducive to Black hair as we don't fully immerse out head in water during showers. Even pushing the head towards the wall offered minimal help. Breakfast at Hoyt is expensive and there isnt much variety on the menu. The location of the hotel is perfectly near the Riverwalk. Microwaves are available upon request. Early checkin is an option at a cost unless u are a rewards member. There is no pool plus a $30 a day non refundable resort fee AND a $100 a day deposit. My opinion, not much bang for your buck. The hotel was emailed 2 weeks prior to my arrival in order to plan something special however the email was never answered."
