3 star hotels in Chicago

This is my third time staying here. All three times I've had different style of rooms. All of which is beautiful. The hotel doesn't offer much as far as breakfast, staff does their job but not much more but that's ok. The real charm of this is the architecture, history and the spirits. Place really is like no other. Kinda cool really.

We stayed for three nights at the Congress Plaza Hotel. Overall, it was a nice stay — our room faced the lake and was surprisingly large for a city hotel. The newer floors and furniture gave it a refreshed feel. A few notes: there’s no central AC or heat. There’s a small air unit near the window, but it only circulates air rather than heating or cooling it. We visited in early November (temps around...

I enjoyed everything about this historic hotel. Lady at front desk was friendly, funny, and helpful. Shared info about the supposed haunted room in one of the many wings of this huge hotel. Lobby was gorgeous and even had a pool table. Stayed in the South Wing. Room seemed to have been recently updated, with comfy beds. Although it was a bit smaller the ceilings were extremely high giving it a more...

Pretty good location and a classic hotel. Being classic it's also dated. Nice view of the park, and quite clean, but not the best room to do work in all day. Easy walk to the art institute. No AC, pay for refrigerator, free WiFi one day only. Great lobby though, there were people doing a photo shoot on the couches for an album, I can see why!

I thought this place was nice. Staff was nice, plaza was nice, room was a little rough though. Cracks in wall and ceiling. I understand it’s an older building but rooms could use some work. But the great rate we got on the room made up for the small defects.

The hotel has a very charming old feel to it. We got a lake side view room, and the view out the window is great, especially at sunrise! The place is clean and the bed is comfortable. Staff interactions have all been pleasant. Would definitely stay here again!

Bathroom was surprisingly nice and updated compared to the rest of the room. Very nice.

Great location with a beautiful view of the lake. Very nice room with a comfortable bed and they even provided complimentary toothbrush and toothpaste. Very nice staff at the front desk that let us upgrade our room to a lake view and check in early for a very small fee.

Price is very good. The hotel is in the very center of the city, it is very convenient.

The location was amazing, surrounded by the Chicago River. The breakfast buffet was filling and a relaxing environment.The waitstaff was attentive and the view was grand!

Hotel was pretty good. A few little annoyances, but these were made up for by the great location; right on the river with incredible views from the windows. It’s a bit of a mission to get to the rooms (up one elevator through the restaurant to another set of lifts and up again). Despite the 3 elevators from the ground floor up to the 15th reception, they took ages. It’s as if only one of the worked...

room was spacious , overall hotel is great tp stay. breakfast was good. just that need to take multiple lift to reach the hotel.

It was not a comfortable stay especially due to noisy AC, staff is supportive but all room have the same issue.

The hotel's 15th-floor reception hall is super tall and large, the rooms are spacious and bright, the bedding is skin-friendly, soft and comfortable, and from the window you can overlook the five iron bridges across the Chicago River and the buildings on both sides that are full of stories, and get a glimpse of the majesty of this century-old industrial city... The only drawback is that the water output...

Had a great stay here. Super friendly staff and very conveniently located. The rooms are great, functional layout and the bed is SO comfy. Highly recommend

I had a wonderful stay at the Courtyard in Chicago! The hotel was spotless, the location was perfect, and the overall experience was top-notch. A very special thank you to Tabitha, who went above and beyond to take care of us during our visit. She made me feel like family — warm, welcoming, and truly attentive to every detail. It’s rare to find that level of genuine hospitality, and it made all the...

I wanted to give 5 stars for the service received by Latonya!! She made a not so great experience feel much better by her energy, warmness and overall excellent customer service. On the other end, the rooms were just okay, but the smell of them was horrific. They had a sewage smell to them and I was later made aware that there was some issue going on with the water. The other disappointment was in...

I have nothing but good thing to say about this hotel. Excellent service, location and facilities. The pool and surrounding areas were always clean. The rooms were cleaned daily by an excellent staff. Front desk people, doorman and security all great. Chek-in and out was a breeze. Walking distance to the River Walk, Millennium Park, Navy Pier and others are fairly close. Red Line train station only...

It's a bit noisy outside. Some of the waiters in the restaurant are very nice, but some are not so nice.

Very good, very unexpected, this price can live in such a big room. Trump is a few steps away from the hotel, and there is also a Dunkin Donut next to it.

I stayed at the hotel for two nights and three days in late December 2025. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The heating system in my room was extremely loud, making it difficult to sleep. During my entire stay, there was no housekeeping service or towel replacement, which was very inconvenient. The building also feels quite old; even the elevator rattled whenever it moved...

I could overlook the minor inconveniences, such as the poor service and occasional rudeness of a receptionist, but two major issues made my stay uncomfortable. First, my room was extremely dark as it faced an interior courtyard with little natural light. Second, there was pet fur everywhere, which was especially problematic since I have allergies. I did not see any prior warning that these rooms allowed...

Our room on the 8th was spotless and well-kept. Location was perfect for easy access to the Lyric Opera Theatre. Our only complaint was the breakfast. Plan on bringing your own or eating elsewhere.

Breakfast without eggs, bacon and cheese, 😩😩😩

It is near the bus stop, convenient to travel, breakfast is ok, room is clean.

There is a refrigerator, microwave, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hair dryer. The shower head is fixed to the wall. The location was good. I recommend it.

All is good except the noise from the fire department from the opposite and the hole below the door is too big the flow wind can go through

The breakfast was varied and the atmosphere was casual and nice.

This is a wonderful, clean hotel with friendly staff. We stayed 4 nights and this location is perfect for being a walking tourist and you can easily use the bus and train here as well. We usually choose a hotel with breakfast for convenience and this breakfast was wonderful. Tricolor potatoes, toast, breakfast tacos, French toast, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt parfait, coffee, tea and even iced coffee...

We had an excellent stay at Hyatt. Room service was great; they kept the room clean when we were out, neatly folded my clothes, and quickly fixed the window curtains. Also had a great breakfast. The food selection was superb. Santosi assisted us during it. She was a joy to talk to.

I booked a King bed, but as a Hyatt member I was upgraded to Double Queen bed with a view. I will book again at this hotel in the future. See below Pros: The rooms are updated with sufficient lighting in the bathroom. The mattress and pillows are comfortable. I appreciated the addition of a closet with a light inside. The floor is impeccably clean. The front desk texted me to inquire if they can...

We had a fantastic stay at Hyatt Place Chicago North. The hotel was clean, modern, and very comfortable. The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile — great customer service throughout. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and a great layout for families or business travelers. The complimentary breakfast had a nice variety and was a great way to...

I really liked the hotel, except that the room service didn't come every day, I had to go to reception and ask for cleaning and changing the towels. It was very well located, close to the subway and a bike station nearby, I could do everything on foot, I didn't rent a car, the breakfast was wonderful and plentiful, I really liked it and would go back.

The location is excellent, by the river in the city center, close to various attractions, cost-effective, the decoration is relatively new, and the service response is very fast. The only drawback is that there is something wrong with the bathroom design. The shower room only has a shower curtain and no waterproof barrier. Once you take a shower, the entire bathroom is filled with water, and it feels...

The hotel is located in the city center, with convenient transportation and close to the lake. You can walk to Macy's and other large shopping malls. There are also Chicago Bean and Qianxi Park to visit.

Irvin was exceptional and made my family feel great at the hotel

Hotels in the United States are similar, but it was too expensive during my visit. I don’t know why, so I had to find a relatively cost-effective hotel close to the company.

Visited Chicago during the Auto Show @ McCormick Place. We travelled during the off season, so the rates were reasonably priced $$120 night. The room we had was very clean, modern and spacious, we were upgraded to a suite. A Continental breakfast was served every morning with a large variety of items consisting of fruit, cereals, eggs, breakfast meats & beverages. They also have a bar in the lobby...

Was a great stay staff helpful

Really great breakfast options. Not just a muffin and coffee. Mini omelettes, sausage, potatoes, cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, juices, coffee, make your own waffle, breads, scones, muffins!

Located in a very clean, well-lit, safe feeling area. Clean rooms, great service and staff, and a great breakfast to start the day. Located by many food options, a 9min walk to The Bean and 12 min walk to Willis Tower.

This hotel was located in a perfect spot. The hotel itself was beautiful. The service was great. The breakfast wasn’t amazing but it’s also a hotel breakfast so I didn’t expect much.

Our room was quite spacious and comfortable. Only a few rooms on each floor and it was SOOO quiet!!! We stayed two nights and I had the best night sleep I have had in forever. Good location. We were able to walk to Soldier Field comfortably. Highly recommend.

Good staying. Facilities around are very comfortable. Food and stores are very close to hotel. I recommend this hotel!

The hotel is getting older but remains largely clean. Spacious room with substantial facilities. Good location but service was just so-so. Overall a good deal.

Really great hotel! Staff were very helpful and super lovey! Room was amazing, and nice and warm on arrival specially as it was super cold in Chicago! Room and bathroom was clean, and even had a mini fridge to store snacks you might have bought during the day. Pillows were actually really comfy too! One down side is the gym equipment is a little outdated. I booked this particular hotel as it had a...

Location is perfect as it's just opposite to Lakeview and walking distance to Millennium park. The bust and metro stop is also just around with some nice cafes and restaurants. Staff was friendly and overall environment was decent.

Great location, excellent cleanliness, and very attentive staff.

The location is quite good, with convenient transportation and complete surrounding amenities, making shopping and dining very easy. The room facilities are decent, but the price is a bit high for this area.

We absolutely loved the hotel’s location. It’s so close that we hardly needed to use the metro tickets—all of the city’s main sights were within easy walking distance . Whether heading out for breakfast, sightseeing, or dinner, we walked everywhere—it couldn’t have been more convenient. Warm, helpful staff and housekeeping The team at reception and throughout the hotel were welcoming and always ready...

There were strands of hair on the bed, Also, they charged 35 USD for a movie i never watched.

The rooms were ok for Chicago standards, small but fit the purpose. The breakfast is a disaster - they cater for all these people but they don’t have enough seating for. You had to wait for a really long time because of ill catering. The food was average. There is no water in the room.

The room is compact and suitable for traveling. Breakfast is included. Luggage storage is available. The bathroom is nice and fully equipped. The staff is attentive.

The room is compact and suitable for traveling. Breakfast is included. Luggage storage is available. The bathroom is nice and fully equipped. The staff is attentive.

Location is Excellent. All Best Shopping Stores Just a Walk Away. Surrounded by Many Restaurants any multiple food Options. Only short coming is Room Sizes are small with only Queen Bed. Only Few rooms with kitchenette Facilities.

The rooms where closets. It was very small for two people. I wish they showed the pictures of the rooms on the website.

Everyone should stay at the Moxy. Very friendly staff, fun, cozy space that’s walking distance from all the great Chicago attractions. Highly recommended

Love this hotel chain. I’ve stayed in a Moxy in almost every city I’ve ever visited. This hotel lived up to everything I loved about the Moxy. This should be a five star review but the ac/heat for some reason was set to a motion sensor. It’s January and I keep waking up out of my sleep because the room would get ultra cold. Idk who thought of that but it’s ridiculous.

Clean room, great vibes in the lobby. Food at the taco place was delicious with good vegetarian options.

me and my friend had the best time at moxys! staff was super welcoming and our room was super nice. i loved how alive it is on friday and saturdays, the dj and vibes are great! not far from main downtown and not too close which we loved. honestly perfect for two people and i would recommend!

Great staff, clean room, awesome lobby! The corner room is the one to book if you can! Amazing view! Can’t say enough positive things about the hotel. We will definitely stay again

The Moxy is the bomb!!!! It’s a vibe, live DJ, clean, comfy and modern. Great staff, tacos are delicious and it’s a prime location

Really nice hotel in great location

Convenient to Loyola University. Booked for my daughter, who flew in the day before dorms opened.

We were in town to attend Loyola Universities new student tour. This hotel is conveniently located. We were pleasantly surprised with staff, cleanliness and comfort of this hotel. Lots of dining options within walking distance. Parking is a little difficult, so we used the valet service (quite pricey). Would definitely stay here again.

The room was in great shape, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was excellent. What more could one want?

It’s a really nice and clean place to stay. We stayed there for one night and it was perfect!

The hotel is close to the subway, making transportation very convenient. It's also near CVS and other restaurants. The hotel breakfast is quite good, with both good taste and variety.

The service was fantastic. From the moment we checked in until we left four days later. Front desk was very helpful with directions and recommendations that we requested. Very friendly people. The room was very clean, quiet and well organized. Breakfasts were great, new offerings every day. Freshly cooked. I plan to go back to Chicago and I'll be staying here again.

The hotel located in the midst of Hyde Park , Chicago. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. We took public transportation to places which is very accessible. We will stay there again if we go to Chicago again.

The room was spacious, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet.

The hotel offers comprehensive facilities, comfortable beds, and a very clean environment. The bathtub was easy to use, and the internet connection was reliable and strong. It's also conveniently located very close to the University of Chicago. The breakfast, served from 7-10 AM, was delicious.

It's quite quiet, not crowded. There is a Macy's nearby, within walking distance. The price is reasonable, the waiters are quite enthusiastic, the cleaning is timely and clean.

Hotel room is clean and spacious. Nearby to restaurants and supermart too. Nearby bus stop to bring you downtown.

I chose this hotel based on its “wonderful” reviews on *******, but unfortunately my experience was somewhat disappointing. The room was not very clean. There was visible grime on the bathroom walls and baseboards, and the towel rack and toilet paper holder repeatedly fell off. The hot water never got truly hot; even after maintenance checked it, we were told this was the maximum temperature allowed...

I arrived after midnight because my train was over 7 hours late. The receptionist was exceptional, professional,courteous and very informative and accommodating providing all information needed for a first time visit to Chicago. I will definitely stay pin this hotel again because it was clean and wonderful service. The beds were comfortable and the accommodations made me feel very comfortable and...

Staff was very helpful and accommodating bringing us a fan to our room and helping us find our way around town. The hotel was very modern and clean. I would definitely stay again.

Good location to reach out all science places. Giordano’s deep dish pizza is very near from hotel. Walking 5 mins to Skydeck Chicago building.

The room is moderately sized, and the sanitary environment and facilities are all good. It is very close to the train station. There is a famous chain pizza restaurant at the door of the hotel. It is also a ten-minute walk from several famous attractions such as the Art Museum and Millennium Park. You can also walk along the riverside trail to enjoy the scenery and go shopping at the Luxury Mile.

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Central Loop located nearby the station. This is super conveniences to getting there. Many coffee shop, convenience stores and restaurants are located surrounding. Gym room is good and this is why I chose Hilton Garden.

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Staff is very friendl.and accommodating . Very nice restaurant and food is very good. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed here for 3 Nights and overall we have a good experience. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Room was clean and beds were really comfy.

We stayed at the parking garage for the medical center across the street for $20 a day. Air conditioning ******. Staff are just ok.

Nice clean rooms. Staff is always smiling. The bar area could upgrade the sound system as the acoustics are muffled.

Nice enough of a hotel for the price but I found 50 dollars a night to park a bit expensive. They don’t supply free coffee other than what is in the room. There isn’t a free breakfast and the breakfast menu is expensive.

Staff was very professional and helpful. Room was extremely comfortable. Location was walkable and perfect for what we needed. Shuttle service was excellent as well.

The hotel is beautiful and staff are very friendly.

I was on a conference call and the hotel staff HAD to take down the Christmas tree right next me while I was on video and speaking. That could have waited. This made for a very unpleasant day. Night reservation man was very rude to my husband. Did not treat with respect to someone not familiar with the area. Needed to buy eye solution and was unfamiliar with the 7-11 after hours service. Night reservation...

Rooms were nice and clean, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast restaurant was a nice atmosphere and helpful staff.

Definitely would stay again. Family of four. Walking distance was perfect and the service great. Very kind !!

Great location. Clean rooms and friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.

When I checked in, the front staff had a very nice attitude. The room was also great — stylish, clean, and comfortable. But one thing: at check-out, the staff seemed a bit distracted and things didn’t go smoothly. Maybe it was very early in the morning.

The hotel is very good, the windows are full of sunlight. It's a good experience to come alone.

The room is clean and well-equipped. The parking lot is right next to it and the fee is reasonable.

The hotel is OK and the price is relatively affordable

The front desk was friendly and it was close to the United Center, but I had a bad three nights. 1. There were only three pillows on the bed when I checked in, and they were thrown on the bed randomly. This was the first time I encountered such a situation. 2. The room could not be ventilated and the window could not be opened. I smelled the room when I checked in, and the smell became worse day by...

It's about a ten-minute walk to the station, and there's a supermarket a few streets away. The room was clean and there were no major issues. The counter staff are also polite and willing to help when needed.

The location and environment are quite satisfactory. It is the best choice to go to Chicago to watch the game

Had a really great and easy stay here. Clean and newer quality rooms, sweet staff, centrally located. Would definitely stay here again when in Chicago.

Simply one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had; clean, spacious room, best shower pressure ever, quality gym, delicious breakfast, friendly staff, inviting lobby, great views of the city. The cost of parking was the only drawback, but Spot Hero had a great alternative.

Staff is excellent- very supportive. Room was great - very clean and well appointed.

Room was very clean and spacious. Had dinner at the bar and it was very good! Service was all around great! Easy walk to the salt shed.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. We loved the "every other day" servicing our room. We were even given a Christmas stocking on our door for Christmas day. We really loved the valet parking and parking garage on the premises. Our stay was wonderful and we will absolutely stay here again.

Clean and spacious room. Very friendly staff. Great location. Good price. We will be back.

Great hotel and great services. Please fix the key pad at the entry. It is not user friendly. The key pad is very difficult to use when it comes to pressing the numbers. It was frustrating especially when I had an emergency to get back in

The location of where the hotel was. It gave us access to lots of popular places in Chicago. We also had very great staff that made this place enjoyable

Staffs friendly Room clean Clothes towels all clean Shampoo, body wash, conditioner provided Water force on tap and shower all good Kitchen equipped, free to make coffee and tea, oven, microwave, fridges, storage spaces, dining space, etc all great.

The number one thing I would be aware of, is to make sure you know where the parking garages are. There are a few within an easy walk to found. The second thing, if you come in during the evening, you're going to have to get the attention of the person at the desk to let you in because you won't have a room code by that time. The third thing, there's plenty of stores and food within walking distance...

Room was great, AC broke down during our stay, bed was not clrean enough but overall great location !

Room was great, AC broke down during our stay, bed was not clrean enough but overall great location !

hotel was about what we expected. Nice breakfast and staff was kind

Pleasant surprise Booked here for the Chicago marathon and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel given the not so nice reviews. Place is clean and well maintained. Got a room with 2 double beds and room is very spacious. Even had a mini ref and microwave. Got coffees and teas as well. Restroom had a tub and ample supply of toiletries. Ice dispenser is available at the floor as well. Breakfast...

It was great. Staff was nice. The room was clean and the hallways had great photos of the city which made it feel more safe and comfortable. The breakfast was great, nice large and comfortable lobby area with view of the water. Nice neighborhood close to the college so lots of great restaurants were just a 10-15 min walk away. Felt safe even at night

The property is a basic small 2-story motel. Nothing unique. The pool-facing rooms are now facing an empty pool, unfortunately. The immediate spaces ( walkways, parking lot, empty pool) are a hotbed for rodents. I encountered large rodents each time I ventured in or out of the unit. One suggestion is to have closed garbage bins. I saw 3 rats climb out of a garbage can with food items !!! Scared the...

It was an average stay at an average motel. it was confusing to determine which hotel was the one I had booked. There are two hotels budgeted right next to each other. The room was clean, but it smelled funny. The mattress had springs and was very bouncy. Reminded me of my bed from 30 years ago, when I was a kid. I appreciated that it was close to where I needed to be and for the price, I got what...

A solid 3-star hotel. It was neat and clean, felt safe and was convenient to attractions and downtown Chicago. It's one of the few places with onsite parking, which was a major consideration. Nothing within walking distance, but a lot of restaurants and amenities a short drive away.

I sleep in dozens of hotels a year, both for work and leisure travel. I seldom leave reviews. But opinions are so split on Selina Chicago that I feel compelled. First, I found it clean throughout. The common spaces were fun and quirky-- definitely not cookie cutter. As for the rooms, my room 608 was solid 4 star: great bed, fresh remodel. The only downsides were wall-to-wall carpeting that could use...

Hotel is in a great location but is in need of a revamp/modernisation. The co-working space and lobby are nice and modern but they do not reflect the room. Beds were clean but the room carpet was a little dirty. Bathroom was old but the water pressure was good. Overall ticks the box to visit downtown but not special in anyway.

The staff is kind and available to help you. The rooms are quite clean, and the daily breakfast is good enough for the price. The hotel has a lot of character!

Older classic hotel very well located 1/2 block or so fro the Hancock building. Attached to Ditka's restaurant. What could be better?

Nice hotel, pleasant staff and clean. Need minor repairs , maintenance painting is killing the appearance in some areas. Decorated it's a Great place to stay

Very cool hotel and a great location. Bathroom needed updating in a huge way. Bed was comfortable and staff was excellent.
