Top South Shore Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Room is clean, Staff is nice."

Hilton Chicago

4/10 Poor

"Unfortunately, the service was completely unacceptable. On our first day, I had to call customer service three separate times just to get our room cleaned. They didn’t show up until 7:30 PM. When you’ve been walking all day, the last thing you want is to return to a dirty room when you just want to collapse and rest. To make matters worse, the exact same thing happened the next day. While the front desk tried to fix it by offering a free breakfast voucher, a voucher doesn't make up for losing the peace of mind of coming back to a clean, restful room after a long day out. On top of the terrible housekeeping, the hotel hits you with a mandatory $25 per day "destination fee" that you cannot opt-out of. It supposedly covers the pool, internet, pickleball, and an $18 laundry credit, but it is entirely "use it or lose it." Forcing families to pay for amenities they might not even have time to use just feels like a greedy cash grab. Great location, but the management and service are severely lacking. I would not stay here again."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and large. We liked that it had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker and had a table and coach area separate from the bedroom section. The complimentary breakfast was really good with an option to create your own omlete. The location was just by the magnificent mile and a block away from the red line. As with any hotel in the big city parking wasn’t free but a closed parking lot was nearby. The closed pool was an extra addition, which my son enjoyed."

Holiday Inn Chicago Dwtn - The Mart by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great The hotel has a sauna - Essential for me Rooms were very clean Staff was friendly and very helpful Break was a bit pricey: $24 per person but it was buffet. Overall, I’d prefer to stay at the same hotel if I decide to visit Chicago again 10/10"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

6/10 Okay

"we ended up having to pay $90 on top of what we paid on this app for no reason, our hotel was fully paid yet they charged us this without explaining what it was for, I didn’t want to ask because I was already stressed about not being able to check in early and being late to our activities for the day."
