Top Theater on the Lake Hotel Reviews

The Willows Hotel

8/10 Good

"Adorable boutique hotel in a great location. The property was well maintained and provided everything needed for a quick trip to the city. Parking was convenient - there is a paid parking garage located just behind the property. There are several restaurants and shops nearby, and the train station was just a 15-minute walk away. The property offered tea and coffee throughout the day and late at night. In the evenings, they put out freshly baked cookies which was a cute touch. Room was clean and smelled great. The bed was comfortable and linen was clean. Th elevator was small but we didn't have to wait long. The only concern was how easily noise travelled into the rooms, especially for rooms next to the elevator. I am not sure if anything can be done about this - perhaps earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Next time, I would request a room that was not so close to the elevator. All that said, the property was a great value for what was provided and I would still recommend."

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Congress for a Bears game. We selected it based on price and proximity to Soldier Field. The price was incredibly reasonable, so I was a bit concerned about the quality and cleanliness of the room and hotel prior to checking in. We were more than pleased with our room and the hotel overall and feel it was great value for our money. The room was very clean and had been updated quite recently. It was roomie in both the room itself and the bathroom. We also appreciated the amenities in the room, including a coffee maker, refrigerator, a large, walk-in closet, plenty of drawer storage for clothes and extra seating and table. It is also near do much in the city, so it’s a great place to stay. The only issue that I had is I wish the TV had been a bit larger. But other than that, I would highly recommend the Congress."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location. The room was decent and so was the breakfast. We were entitled to vouchers for breakfast, cocktails and dinner as well as water bottles. At check-in, it would have been nice to be told that and get those vouchers. We had to ask for them the next day after reading a message received from the hotel. It would be nice also at check-in to let us know that housekeeping is every other day. Overall we still had a good stay."

"Fantastic walkable location. Huge, spacious condo. Great modern appliances, almost like new. Comfortable beds. Host very responsive to questions etc. Plenty of good quality sheets, towels, trash bags etc. Air conditioning and washer dryer worked perfectly!"

Hotel Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about the hotel with the exception of the coffee shop in the lobby. They never had anything. No decaf espresso beans, no pastries, limited sparkling drinks in cold case. On the second day, it was the same thing. The barista actually referred us to a coffee shop around the corner! If I was hotel Lincoln, I would be careful recommending the coffee shop if they’re going to be so ill prepared. The restaurant in the lobby is a different story! What a great place to eat. Service was great with helpful staff and great food. M6 son who lives nearby (reason for trip) didn’t 3pm know the restaurant was there, but he does now. Very pleased with the restaurant! Thanks again for a great weekend"

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"

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."
