Reviews and Ratings
This hotel surprised me with its spacious rooms and extra clean environment. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay special, offering help and even gifts for my child. The location couldn't have been better, right near the Mag Mile with endless dining and activity options. The dining experience was decent with a good breakfast selection. Overall, a convenient and comfortable choice.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and challenging aspects. The location was ideal for exploring Chicago, with easy access to major sites, but finding the hotel occasionally posed a challenge. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms were extremely old and uncomfortable, needing an upgrade for a better experience. The dining options were fantastic with fresh produce, but the price for some meals felt steep.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, though a bit tight. The service was top-notch, with the staff being friendly and accommodating. The location was fantastic for exploring downtown, but some updates are needed. The dining experience was satisfactory. Overall, a decent value for money option with friendly service and comfortable rooms.
My stay at Intercontinental was quite disappointing overall. The rooms were small, dated, and lacking modern amenities like enough charging plugs, making the experience less than ideal. The staff's service was mediocre and waiting in line at the check-in desk was not pleasant. I probably won't choose Intercontinental again.
The hotel was spotlessly clean with a super comfy bed, perfect for our needs, and the staff was exceptionally attentive. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Chicago on foot, but dining was a bit overpriced. Overall, a great stay!
