Top Near East Side Hotel Reviews

Omni Chicago Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful and kind, room clean and a beautiful view. Hotel kept up very well. Our air conditioning worked great on the 23rd floor. Check out, bags held and valet parking plus retrieval very quick and excellent service."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"The location and decor in the lobby and restaurant/ lounge was super nice! The beds were comfortable and room was spacious. The only issue that I saw was the carpet in the room. There were several stains and bleach spots. It needs to be replaced. Other than that small detail it was a really nice stay!"

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

8/10 Good

"RIU is a beautiful and modern hotel with very helpful staff and an excellent breakfast buffet. The rooms were clean and pretty. Our only concerns were these: The only restaurant on the property is a rooftop bar with small plates that are not kid friendly, and because it’s a rooftop bar, it’s only available when the weather is good. Our shower did not drain. There is no ice machine or any other vending on the property. There is no sundries shop/store on the property. The room does not have a microwave. Our bathroom door did not lock nor, was there any bathroom vent/fan. For being only two years old, the hotel really should have better television options, including streaming services. Watch out – many of the general hotel/reservation websites show this location is having a “rooftop pool,” but it does not have any pool."
