Top South Austin Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"The Fairmont was a great place to stay to see all the sights of downtown Chicago with its great location to everything in walking distance from Millennium Park. Our room was spacious and clean and quiet. Beds comfortable and all modern shower and bath. The staff was incredibly helpful. A shout out specially to Gail Walker the concierge who assisted us with great recommendations for sights and restaurants. She was amazing. We attended the Blues Festival in the park and the location of the hotel was great for that event and all the downtown river walk activities, near public transportation as well. A great and comfortable stay!"

Freehand Chicago

6/10 Okay

"This hotel was just okay. The standard rooms have some functional quirks—the bathroom counter, for instance, offers so little space that my toothbrush ended up in the toilet. Our first room also had lumpy pillows and a curtain that wasn’t wide enough to cover the window. Lighting was a weak point too, both natural and artificial. The room faced an interior space, so there was little daylight, and one bulb was a low-CRI fluorescent that clashed with the warmer tone of the other fixtures. On the plus side, I loved the bathroom tile and the design of the common spaces. One frustration: the staff gave confusing information about dry cleaning, which turned out not to be available at all."

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, with everything conveniently located nearby. The cleanliness was outstanding—10/10. Our room was very comfortable and well-maintained. The lobby is beautiful, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfast was one of the best we have experienced at any hotel. The variety and quality of the food were exceptional, and the menu changed daily, which was a nice touch. The dining area is spacious, beautifully designed, and offers plenty of seating. The service from all staff members was outstanding, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Congress Plaza Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Had to change rooms idk how many times. Crappy water pressure wasn’t even able to take a shower or bath my stay completely disgusted with this hotel and how they handled things. I was so stressed out I ended up having a miscarriage from being so stressed out and not finally getting to sleep at 12 am from the complete lack of adequate customer service."
