3 star hotels in Chicago

Excellent location , old hotel , many good restaurant nearby .

The room was a good size, had plenty of storage, was clean, and was in a great location that was very walkable. The staff were helpful, although I had trouble contacting them before my stay (I attempted both through the chat here and by phone, but neither was successful).

The location is great walkable to so many places. The room is clean and cozy. Hotel also provided a vending machine which’s I love cos I just don’t wanna go outside for some snacks in the cold weather

I like the place beacause it is quiet and clean! Also, it is near downtown Chicago, which is very accessible to some attractions! The staff in general is friendly! Love it

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...

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...

Our son attended an event at IIT and this place was a great place to stay. Just minutes from campus. The room was clean and had just been remodeled. Free parking is a bonus. Didn't do anything at the hotel, so I can only comment on the room. We had a room towards the center court so it was very quiet.

Clean, quiet. The reception staff is very friendly.

Perfect.If you want to come to chicago, but don't want to stay too far out.But you don't want to be in the mix of the heavy traffic. I realized spacious rooms. They have their own parking lot.So you don't have to worry about paying for parking close to soldier, feel and literally fourteen minutes on the bus to get to the loop.

I like the staff because they made it feel like home. Called the room to check on us to make sure we had the proper accommodations. The staff is so welcoming. It was almost to good to be true. The manager went above and beyond to make sure our booking got straightened out because there was a booking error. Last, the bed was so comfortable. I melted into the sheets like butter. Would definitely recommend...

This hotel is on its last leg. If you’re looking for a place to just rest your head at night, it does the job. It’s one of those places that if you touch it wrong it’s gonna break. No complaints about staff, they were kind from the little interactions we had. You can tell the hotel is just old and they’re no longer putting money into fixing things. It’s just being barely maintained. We had two key...

I was in town for my daughter's orchestra concert at DePaul. This hotel was in my price range, so I took my chances (the reviews were quite mixed). For check-in, the gal at the counter was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed meeting the adorable French bulldog who "helped out" at the counter. No issues at all with the elevator (other reviews stated that the elevators weren't working). The room was...

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!

Great place to stay! Centrally located. Staff we efficient, friendly and the room was spacious and spotless. Highly recommend this Hotel.

Very nice hotel. Small but very clean and a nice boutique look and feel. Staff was very friendly! The rooms were clean and comfortable! All the basic amenities provided. Good location for walking to State street and the parks along MIchigan Ave.

I had a great big room that was as clean as they come. The staff was really nice. Free coffee in the morning in addition to the stuff in the room. The fridge was a little bigger than most hotel rooms I've been in.

Bringing wrong car from valet extended our wait to 30 minutes and there’s three valet workers we saw. Loved the room and staff though.

This hotel is incredibly clean. The staff super nice and friendly. I will return to this hotel when I come to Chicago.

Very friendly and helpful staff, nice room…very comfortable and spacious. I especially loved that large bathroom with its great shower! I loved the location of the place…very walkable to museums and the theater district. And the cafe next door has excellent food…we ate there every day ( twice for breakfast and once for lunch!

Location was great but breakfast was not the best.

A wonderful hotel, located in the city center. The beach is a 5-minute walk away, which is important to me. The hotel staff was friendly. The room was very beautiful, clean, and equipped with all the amenities. The breakfast was delicious and varied. The view from the windows was amazing; I admired the city at night. I would happily stay at the hotel again on my next trip.

Great hotel, service and great all you can eat breakfast

I have stayed here many times. The location is wonderful. Streeterville is a favorite of mine. The staff are truly helpful and friendly. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. I will be returning.

Guys,you basically get what you pay. The hotel is old but it is clean and safe. Very happy with my stay.

Great location. Great staff. Clean room. Amazing shower pressure. What more do you need 😊 Could have just used some more accessible plugs next to the bed that’s all.

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.

Great location...close to everything downtown. Bar was packed and you need a reservation to get a seat. Check in was quick and easy and staff were friendly. Hotel is associated with Best Western but you have to book through their website in order to receive points for the stay.

Check in was super quick and hassle-free. Upon check out they refunded my deposit on my credit card within 30 minutes. The hotel has a nice cool vibe. Cool music playing. The room is clean, comfy bed. Room amenities was average. Hair dryer lacked power. But we truly enjoyed having Alexa in the room :D Many plug points in the room which made it convenient. Location of the hotel was pretty good too....

Great location, super cute room. Friendly staff

The front desk staff A+. Very courteous, accommodating, and HELPFUL! On point with recommendations and willing to give time to share in conversation 🤘🏻

Fun rock and roll/hip hop vibe and decorations in thr boutique hotel right in the heart of downtown. Easy to walk to a ton of restaurants and bars. Has a coffeehouse, bakery, and bar, all on site. Cool rooms that were plenty big for me and clean/comfortable. Special shoutout to Val at the front desk who was able to get me in a room well before check-in time. Would absolutely stay here again.

Wow!!! Absolute 10 out of 10!!! I am very very happy I choose to stay at the ACME hotel ! Service is top notch. As soon as I walked through the door I knew I was in good hands. Michael was so accommodating and friendly! He made me feel so welcomed. I wanted a room with a view and he made it happen ! Also, he gave me a voucher for a great restaurant! Thank you. I have the best view of the city and I...

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 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.

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.

Clean room, cool rooftop vista and deck. Convenient location for public transit and downtown tourist attractions. Nichole & Anthony both stand out as amazing concierge reception staff!! Friendly, knowledgeable & overall great time because of the hotel’s extraordinary staff taking care to make sure we had everything for a pleasant stay

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.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in! The staff was so nice, the room was very clean, and the lobby was so fun! And there’s an animal shelter right next door. I plan on staying again next month when I return.

First time at the Moxy and it was great! Staff went above and beyond and the atmosphere in the lobby was icing on the cake. Can’t wait to come back.

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!

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.

Clean room. Very cozy and quaint lobby area. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. It was in a perfect location, within walking distance to everything we needed.

It was quiet! We enjoyed seeing a familiar face at the Desk throughout the weekend! It seemed as if one young lady was always there. Staff was very Courteous! Rooms and lobby were very clean.

Room was clean and service was good. Good restaurants close by. Coffee machine in lobby could have been updated. M&M ‘s in room were old

The room was a great size and very clean. The downstairs is gorgeous as well, and it feels like a very safe hotel with the double locks! We had a very nice stay here.

They made sure I initialed the section where you agree to not smoke in 3 different places. Went to my room and it literally reeked of smoke. I went back downstairs to be told they had no other queen rooms and I would have to upgrade for a king size which was extra $10 a night so I did even after being told it was difficult to do so. In general the place was very clean. But if you’re looking for...

Very clean, staff was super nice and the beds are big and comfy. The water pressure of the shower is literally perfect as well. I will definitely come back here in the future if I'm ever in Chicago.

Location is everything with this hotel, with views of the lake right out the front door. The free parking with the shuttle and short ride to city are so convenient. The rooms are clean, not fancy and it sits in a quieter neighborhood, felt safe but it is right off of Lakeshore. Staff was quick and kind for check-in and check-out. Double check the restaurant next door if you plan to rely on it, not...

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...

Great location for easy access to the Lakefront Trail (cyclists, runners, etc). Metra Electric line is just 0.5 mile away to get back downtown and connect to anywhere else you want to go. If you don't use the "Do Not Disturb" sign, you WILL be disturbed, housekeeping is relentless. They don't seem to clean one room at a time, it seems they clean all the rooms, all the time. From 8am-5pm, in and out...
