Top South Loop Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel in the perfect spot. My view was calming. There was nothing I didn’t like about this place. I would definitely stay here again."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

8/10 Good

"Perfectly suitable, and the bed was always well made at the end of the day which was a joy! The only think I wish I had had was a refrigerator. Also, one thing that is a little deceptive is that the "breakfast" option is a shop next to the property, not inside the establishment proper (although you can walk there without going outside). I think it was perfectly suitable!"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown South Loop

8/10 Good

"The hotel is at a very convenient location, within walking distance to bus and train stations. Shops like Trader Joes and Paris Baguette are close by, and it takes just one train stop from there to China Town where there are lots of eateries. The room is comfortable and amenities are well provided. Love the pool which gave the kids lots of fun! Breakfast has sufficient varieties, but I would recommend better cleaning of the tables and heat up the hot items better. Overall speaking, we enjoyed our stay there and I 'd come back if visit Chicago again!"
