Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is good, I can see this is a preference for many people that go to Chicago. Location is great, next to Michigan street (Harry Potter store), many restaurants, shopping options and near the Museum of Contemporary Art. The room is good, staff are really nice, I ate food from the main floor bar and it was decent (not great quality). The room was good, decorations are modern and cost/benefict is good for spending the day out and coming back to sleep."

Congress Plaza Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was clean for the most part. Corridors smells like soap because I truly believe the housekeeping works hard to keep them that way. Unfortunately the hotel was just old and needs much needed upgrade. The bathroom was looking noticeably old too and the water in the bath area needs to be at certain angle to release enough pressure and hot water. Still doable and workable with but maybe not for $600 a night... Our room ended being family suite which we didn't realize upon booking much and the front desk didnt debrief it until we reclarify it after. The first receptionist almost said the main room was not part of our room until another lady came to correct her (thankfully). I do wish that the picture of the property on expedia is more reflective to the current hotel situation though. Because it looks similar but the actual looks way older than it actually is...."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! I wasn’t sure what to expect since I didn’t know much about the hotel beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and welcoming, especially the team at the bar, who provided excellent service throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax. The hotel has a lot of character, and you can tell it’s a historic building, which adds to its charm. At the same time, the décor is tasteful and well maintained. The surrounding area is very walkable, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely stay here again."
