Top Lakefront Trail Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay at the River Hotel in Chicago! The location is absolutely perfect—right on the river and within walking distance of many of the city’s best attractions. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. Great value for such a fantastic downtown location—we would definitely stay here again!"

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"A great value for the money. An awesome location across from Lake Michigan and the Grant Park fountain. The lobby is wonderful, but the room and the rest of it looks very aged with layers of paint and forgone maintenance."

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in/check out, easy and available parking, Friendly and helpful staff, clean and updated room"

THE MIDLAND HOTEL, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The staff was amazing and extremely accommodating and flexible. The rooms were gorgeous and the hotel was beautiful."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great. The bus stops and train stations were close. We even walked to the Wrigley Building to take the Architecture River Tour!"

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Traveling cross country and stayed at several hotel. This one was on point, from entering the hotel, smelling clean, the staff checking in was great, and the room was clean. I had an awesome stay."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago McCormick Place

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, staff were so helpful and kind. Nice rooms and good breakfast my only complaint is that I wish they had bigger coffee cups. Would 100% stay there again"

McCormick Suites by Slumber Stay

10/10 Excellent

"It was an above-average stay."

Bronzeville Gem: Balcony, Gym & Rooftop Deck

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. However there are a few things that would make the experience even better. Bigger coffee cup, a tall kitchen trash receptacle, maybe another tv in the largest bedroom because with multiple guests everyone may not want to watch the same thing. There should be a physical book with info about the area including how close china town is.Where the nearest entrance for the el. And invest in bath sheets for the bathrooms instead of bath towels. Small changes will elevate the experience to luxury status.Still the stay was great. I will definitely consider the next time I come to Chicago."
