Top Near South Side Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location, friendly and helpful staff, and very comfortable bedding (my friend who shared the room wtih me ordered the pillows for use at home!). Rooms are about the size one would expect for this neighborhood - smaller than in the suburbs! The bathroom amenities are high quality. I only subtracted a star because the elevators were very, very slow resulting in us and several other groups of guests using the stairs which were pretty poorly labeled for ease of use and for safety (if there had been an emergency. I gave this feedback to staff who were outwardly receptive - and who hopefully re-sign the stairwells so that other guests like us (and the other 8 people we found in them!) will know exactly where to go whether rushed or at a calm pace."
