Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful place with a prime location in an exclusive, central neighborhood. The hotel is beautiful and spotless, the food is delicious, and the bed is super comfortable! You can tell how much they prioritize cleanliness throughout the entire stay."

The Wade

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"First the good: the location is great, right on the river and easily walkable to the Loop of the Magnificent Mile, etc. I arrived early and asked to check my bag, but my room was ready, which was nice. Somehow I got a fabulous upgrade to a comfortable spacious corner room on the 38th floor with the most spectacular views (views plural). When I returned later to rest before dinner, I couldn’t stop looking out the windows—what a show at sunset! The bed was very comfortable, although really really high off the ground. Everything seemed clean. Now the not-so-good: lighting was very sparse in the room—half the room had no lighting at all. No place to charge devices—hello, this is 2026. I had a little trouble with the temperature and there was no way to call downstairs—everything has to be handled in the app. So do stay here, but bring a charging station to plug into the wall—which is far from the bed."
