Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the roof top bar and the glass floor experience in the roof top bar Room was clean and breakfast changed daily In a good area for attractions and transport"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"First, I’m going to say that price and location wise: it’ll be my go-to place in Chicago. I really enjoyed the room and was impressed by the view we got. As someone who’s frequently made trips to Chicago, it felt like Chicago to me. And the pizza, bagel and ice cream right next door was a bonus. What I found frustrating was that the texting line didn’t work. I had to call because I could not get answers via the text service they kept promoting. Also, the upgraded package, which apparently was for everyone, was not well explained. For example, I was traveling with a child, and they didn’t tell me that they would be counted for breakfast despite them only being part of the whip cream club, I wasn’t told that the drink tickets and the $10 dinner was available at any time on weekends, despite a time limit posted on the website. I found out by eavesdropping that the TV actually worked and that the internet was easy to access. But, the staff, as people, seemed really kind. They just don’t seem like they communicate well with each other as my card wasn’t working despite having called. They seemed extremely hard working. And, I’ll say it again - for the price and the location - I will stay there again."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the St. Clair Hotel was overall a good experience. The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Everything was well maintained, and the hotel was in a convenient location. There were just a couple of things that could be improved. The room did not include bottled water, and it wasn’t clear whether water was available for purchase or if guests needed to request it. It would be helpful if the hotel clarified this for future guests. Also, I also ask about a crib for my 4-month-old baby, and I was told that cribs were not available. Since we were traveling with both a 2-year-old and a 4-month-old, this made sleeping arrangements difficult. My husband and I had to sleep separately, each with one child, which wasn’t the safest or most comfortable situation. Offering cribs, or at least making their availability clearer before booking, would be a great improvement for families traveling with infants. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the room"
