Top South Pond Hotel Reviews

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The facilities are clean and good. Aircon easy to control. Bathroom clean. Only negative is that the shower water is sometimes only warm, not hot."

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great price, very convenient, walkable to downtown/river area. Staff was very helpful with directions and pleasant at all times. Bathroom was very small, but fine for a solo traveler."

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice place to stay"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Good location and mostly everything was kind of just average — took about 15 min to check in BUT check out was <1 min. Need to make it up a couple of stairs with your luggage to get in the lobby. Elevator wait could take a few minutes but nothing too bad. Room was large and nice view but there was no closet or anything to hang clothes with/on. The shower has a shower curtain which wasn’t very hygienic. They clean every 3 days and they call it a “unique hotel experience”. It was nice that every night if we needed water the main desk has bottles. Overall, it’s just very average. It was nice enough, clean enough, good enough."

Eurostars Magnificent Mile
