Freehand Chicago
10/10 Excellent
"This is an old hotel in Chicago. Not fancy but really hip. It's a hostel style, but I had a single room. Walked in and was greeted by friendly, helpful assistance. The place is all dark wood and dimly lit with some whimsy. They seemed to have a happening lounge. I just peeked in as I was headed out for the evening to see Weird Al. I thought it was a pretty cool hotel. I liked the ghost sign that said Tokyo Hotel underneath the Freehand sign. Bally's casino is right across the street. You won't be bored in this location. I'd stay here again."

"Bar was great"
The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown
8/10 Good
"This hotel has a perfect location right near the river and fun things to do. An elevator was not working the entire four days we were there which really affected being able to get up and down to and from your room. One time it took almost 10 minutes to get an elevator going down while we were waiting for an Uber. The room was nice, clean and met our needs. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant, Hoyt, always seemed. packed and crowded so we didn’t end up eating or drinking there. Overall, not as high rated as the London house, but certainly nice in a great location."
