Top Merchandise Mart Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Very good customer service"

Arlo Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, and it was amazing. The Millennium room view doesn't disappoint, and the room was amazing! The hotel is located in the center of anything you'd want to do or see in Chicago, being just a few blocks south of the Architecture River Tour, and across the intersection from Millennium Park and Cloud Gate/The Bean. If you're unsure where to stay, you have my word that this hotel is the one for you!"

Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Received a message from the hotel in advance that, among other details, parking is available in the garage across the courtyard. Arrived, pulled into garage and into a hotel designated spot in the garage. But at check-in was told all hotel spots were reserved, no more were available, and I needed to move my vehicle. There was no such detail in the advance information -- and it seems pretty important. Also, there was no way to lock/secure the bathroom door."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"My problem with most hotels is that they put throws and decorative pillows on beds. These are things that are never washed and incredibly gross. The second issue is they usually have a flat sheet, some kind of comforter and then a top. The comforter is also rarely washed and unfortunately exposed so there’s often hair and gross stuff in there. L7 is INCREDIBLY CLEAN. Their bedding is simple cotton white sheets and nothing else. That’s bold and speaks to their confidence. The linen is so comfy and I had one of the best sleeps of my night. Apart from that, the face mask was a wonderful touch along with the high quality soap/shampoo/lotion. It was also really nice to have a free coffee machine and Perilla restaurant attached. I’d 10/10 recommend. Amazing hotel!"

Freehand Chicago

6/10 Okay

"I haven't stayed at a hotel/hostel before, so I don't know if my expectations were unreasonable. First, the good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. The hot water and AC were plentiful. I felt safe and wasn't bothered by noise from neighbors. I didn't see any bugs. They even had a live musician during at least one of the evenings I was there. Now the bad. We had a private quad. It was dirty. The walls, some of the bedding, the bunk bed curtains were stained and gross. We found trash from the previous guests. There was so much dust and debris, especially in the part of the bunks that held the mattresses. The shower curtain and tiles were moldy. The room needed a good scrubbing and a fresh coat of paint. I wouldn't stay there again unless they improved their housekeeping."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

6/10 Okay

"We booked the Royal Sonesta Downtown because it appeared to be one of the nicer and more convenient options in the area. At over $3,000 for three nights, we expected a much better experience. The room was decent, but several things felt outdated, and the bathtub handle was broken, so we couldn’t use it. Housekeeping, however, was excellent and one of the highlights of our stay. Our biggest issue was the inconsistency of information from staff. Guest Services was often busy or went to voicemail, forcing us to visit the front desk, which always seemed overwhelmed. We requested early check-in and late checkout when booking. One employee told us to call a few hours before arrival to check availability, but when we did, another representative rudely said they wouldn’t know until we arrived. Fortunately, the front desk agent at check-in was friendly. We also received conflicting answers about ice machines. One employee told us every even-numbered floor had one, only for us to later learn our floor specifically did not. Another employee said ice could be delivered, but when we called for it, they told us it could not and incorrectly claimed our freezer made ice in a super condescending manner. We were told the night before departure that a decision couldn’t be made until the next morning because the house manager wasn’t there. The next day it was denied an hour before normal checkout. Overall, it’s a decent hotel, but not worth the price we paid."
