9/10 Wonderful! (1,006 reviews)

The Graduate is very charming and I had a special room with a view and a fireplace! But it comes with all the charm of a boutique hotel, like a slow elevator (and only one small elevator), so don't expect the perks and efficiency of a franchise hotel. But I still prefer it and it feels more like ...

We had a lovely stay at The Drake. Most of the entry staff were very pleasant and welcoming-some were rude or indifferent. The building is older, but has so much character! The business center was an absolute nightmare and letdown when I needed it—thankful a front desk staff member (Maritza) saved ...

Rooms are only cleaned every three days but they don’t tell you that at check in. No towels or toilet paper restocked. Rooms are just okay. Free drink tickets at bar that doesn’t open until 5 pm. Gee thanks. Breakfast is Waffle House level. It’s okay but not great. Lobby is beautiful.

Ron, at the front desk was so kind and helpful - the others, not so much. The first room was ok but a little funky and old for the price, the 2nd room was much better with plenty of room for 2.

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

4 out of 5

Posted 2 hours ago

Travelocity Verified Review

"Very friendly and professional staff on all levels. Location in Chicago is second to none. The food in the restaurant was delicious. But it's obvious structure-wise that Hilton has cut corners with cheap room furniture, bathroom had loose and rusted shower head and handle etc. Lamps looked like garage sale items. TV froze constantly on cable. Our floor's elevator button was cracked and broken and reminded me of something a slumlord would ignore...Normally I would look past some of this stuff but when the hotel charges are through the roof I would expect some things different."

Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

Posted 7 hours ago

Travelocity Verified Review

"The staff at Hotel Felix were kind, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful throughout my stay. The location is also a strong point — walking distance to a lot of great Chicago spots, which made getting around easy. My experience was somewhat diminished by the mandatory Urban Fee added at check-in. I understand many hotels are moving in this direction, but travelers should be aware of the additional required cost when budgeting for their stay. Outside of that, the team and location were the highlights for me."
