Top South Chicago Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. The breakfast was amazing. Our room was super clean and comfortable. The staff super helpful and cheerful."

Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago

8/10 Good

"Loved the hotel overall, the breakfast was really good and the rooms were super clean and comfortable. For a place that charges a resort fee, we were underwhelmed. The only perk was a $15 a day bar credit. There was no pool or hot tub or anything that made it feel like a resort fee was warranted. So that unnecessary fee made me pretty unhappy but overall I enjoyed the property."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"For travelers looking for a cheaper option near the Loop, it's difficult to beat. A half block off Michigan Avenue and the adjacent Grant Park, the hotel is older and no-frills (it even has window air-conditioners) but it is clean, quiet and comfortable, and the front desk is helpful. If all you're looking for is a shower and good night's sleep, and don't mind walking a few extra blocks to access downtown, it's a great deal."
