Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

The Sono Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I like that it had a balcony food choice wasn’t my type of style end up ordering food off of site but definitely had all the amenities for you to be ready for the next day. Will be staying again little bit pricey for a short weekend stay but I will definitely be coming back. Very great part of the town hope to own my own own home in this place one day."

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and front desk lady was very helpful"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Room 304 was just fine. The view from the window was really poor and unpleasant. The bathroom small and a bit run down. The hotel entry, reception area and the bars and restaurants were beautiful, elegant and sophisticated."

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were nice"

Hotel Lincoln

8/10 Good

"Room was clean few amenities but over all stay"

Villa D' Citta

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely remarkable place! It genuinely feels as though a beautiful piece of historic Italy has been transported into this Chicago neighborhood. The architecture, thoughtfully selected ornate decor, warmth, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly welcoming. This is not simply a place to stay. It is an experience. And then there is Gina! Her hospitality is in a class of its own. From preparing a wonderful breakfast to serving homemade banana bread, she has a natural gift for making guests feel like family. Frankly, she could teach a master class in hospitality. I almost hesitate to share just how exceptional this place is because once people discover it, I have no doubt it will become a destination in its own right. Having stayed in countless places from California to New York, I can say without hesitation that this property stands among the very best. It sets a new standard for character, comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality. There is something special about a place that manages to feel both first-class and like coming home. Gina and Don, you have created something truly extraordinary. You didn't just get this place right. You knocked it out of the park! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I would return in a heartbeat."

Hotel Versey Chicago Lincoln Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay overall! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the hotel and surrounding area were clean and felt safe. The only minor issues were with the room itself. It was quite hot, even with the window open, and the street noise was noticeable. However, we spent very little time in the room, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. One thing to note is that the parking information listed valet parking, but valet service was not available. Instead, there is a self-parking garage just a short walk from the hotel. Other than these small inconveniences, everything was great. The friendly staff, cleanliness, and safe location made for a very pleasant stay. With a cooler, quieter room and more accurate parking information, this would easily be a five-star experience. We would definitely consider staying here again! Oh and if stay go to the restaurant for a burger and tots you won't be disappointed"

Heart of the City Group Hub • Patio • Fireplace • Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The host provides a BUNCH of charging cables, including the goofy ones for an Apple watch. Lots of restaurants and shops, including a French bakery, within walking distance. If you want a supermarket, the most amazing Whole Foods that I've ever seen is about a mile west, off North Avenue."

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."
