Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Claridge House Chicago, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a location that was walking distance to some nice restaurants. Easy to get an Uber for other locations for dinner, etc. Parking was a bit limited, but we did use the parking garage next to the hotel for the two days we were there. The staff was very friendly and helpful to make sure we had what was needed for parking. Very nice at checkout time. The room is a bit small, but comfortable. We liked that there was a steamer to freshen up our clothes before our wedding event. We would stay here again."

The Sono Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxing and well located location which served our stay nicely. Helpful staff who were very accommodating and a nice comfortable stay. Would recommend and will hopefully be back when in Chicago."

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"Very elegant !"

Near Zoo and Beach • Reading Nook + Parking

10/10 Excellent

"We were a group of four adults and enjoyed our stay in this apartment very much. It is in an old building but is recently renovated and is very clean and comfortable. Having a parking spot is certainly a bonus, although if you don’t plan any day trips outside the city you could probably manage without a car. The location is excellent – a metro station, a grocery store and many cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Communication with the host was outstanding. All our questions before and during our stay were answered within minutes. We would gladly stay here again."
