Top Water Tower Place Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Amables y todo cerca"

Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"Excellent hotel, great location."

Warwick Allerton - Chicago

8/10 Good

"First time we would have been charged ($30) to access our room, which was ready, before official check in time (we declined). Also, the hotel wanted to charge to hold our luggage until check-in.👎 Also, got hit with a $30 “service charge” for we don’t know what. Felt nickeled and dimed. Also, check-in desk is not on the ground floor. Didn’t notice any signs in ground entrance as to where or how to check in. Room was comfortable and clean enough."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

8/10 Good

"Nice bed in our king room. Location was perfect for us for all we had planned and coming in the CTA from midway . Disappointed no bar just the one next door at the restaurant that wasn’t open late at all . We flew in very early in morning hoped to get into a room early even if we had to pay extra but the check in person was no help at all in regards to check in early or any of our questions . Our family came in the next morning same time and this time a different check in person actually offered them to check in early ! We had nowhere to go so we walked a lot of the city waiting to check in . I think we walked 13 miles . Our room ,once we got it ,was nice tho we didn’t get the city view just the view across to a building and parking . Location was definitely the highlight of this hotel ."
