Hotels near Lake View Presbyterian Church, Chicago

Hotel is very well situated in a really nice location and we always felt safe coming & going...walked a LOT and most things we needed were very close. The Majestic is an older hotel, so the carpet and bathrooms could use a bit of updating, but the amenities were nice. Beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows, covers and AC, a MUST in summer. Separate TV room with couch and desk was worth the bit extra. Entrance requires guests to always go by the small front desk which is ALWAYS staffed day or night. This means anyone entering to use stairs or elevator must go by a staff member...a feeling of safety accompanies this arrangement. Front desk staff was always attentive and pleasant with a kind greeting. A stop by the breakfast area, though no breakfast offered since covid restrictions, was a MUST to grab a cup of their special blend coffee they've used/sourced for 10 years...it is absolutely HEAVENLY and always fresh day or night. Quaint, safe, clean and offers a pleasant stay in the heart of Chicago. The area has nice landscaping which makes you feel you are in a neighborhood...pretty & pleasant. Easy access to a bus stop, the lake and lots of nice businesses, cafes. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The interior of the ”Living” room is slightly cramped, but this price is impeccable living next to the gorgeous one-mile business district. The restaurant on the first floor of Food is too convenient. Free hot coffee, hot water, ice water and tea bags are available 24 hours a day. During breakfast, there are small paper bags on the dining room wall for guests to pack. You can also serve food on a plate and take it to the upstairs room to enjoy. The location of ”Xing” is excellent. Grand subway station red line comes out, and one turn at N Wabash ave. The small gym on the 2nd floor of the ”Le” Hotel is small and beautiful, OK! There are many department stores and restaurants near the hotel. Two streets next door are the gorgeous one-mile business district. N Michigan ave

We stayed here in June of 2022 for the Dead & Co show at Wrigley. It was also pride parade weekend, so the neighborhood was hopping. The location of this hotel is awesome. It's in Boys Town right next to the Belmont El, and there are a ton of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The hotel is really cool- art deco style, lot of rooms but not too loud. My drawbacks are that our bed was tiny. My fiancee and I felt like we were sleeping on top of one another... not a huge deal for us since it was one night, but if I had been here mutliple nights it would have been an issue. We didn't have a shower curtain upon check-in, but they did bring one. Water pressure left a lot to be desired. Overall a decent property. We paid like $350 for the night so I typically expect a little more luxury for that rate, but it was pride week and a concert in town. I'd stay here again if the rate were a bit more reasonable for the quality of the accommodations. Clean property and quiet, so clearly well-managed. 3 stars- I'd give a 4th if the plumbing were better.

Beautiful, natural setting. We were looking for a retreat center to host a couples' retreat. The Hyatt Lodge was recommended. Could not have asked for a better setting. Staff was warm and welcoming and attended to our every question and need. The rooms are nicely appointed and very clean, and the banquet food was good. Also had a few meals at the restaurants, which were good.

I visited the Warwick Allerton with a group of friends over a three night stay. The hotel is older, in the midst of a remodel. Our room was fine, appeared to be remodeled. It was clean, comfortable bed and furniture. Housekeeping had to be scheduled and we ran out of toilet paper before the scheduled service. Additionally our wifi was continually disconnecting. Alicia from the front desk offered to come up to our room, reset our wifi and delivered 2 rolls of toilet paper. She arrived within minutes of me talking to her. She was friendly and very helpful. The hotel charges a $15.00 daily service fee. The restaurant was closed for remodeling and there was no food on the premises. There may have been a gym, which we did not use. I fail to see the benefits of the facility fee and would rather just have the room charge be higher if the hotel needs to make a higher profit on the rooms. The hotel is in a good location for shopping and restaurants. The valet service was also efficient.

The Chicago Hotel Collection Magnificent Mile The cleaning rules and service is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in my life. You have to request room service I requested room service a day before as the policy says and they still don’t clean the room towels were not switched out the garbage was not disposed of. I complained for a second time at the front desk with the two young ladies and now she wants to argue with me. Then the argument turned into negotiations on what gets cleaned and what does not. She says “we can replace the towels and remove the trash but we can’t make up the bed” (SMDH) I can’t make this Chit up I think it’s horrible that I have to negotiate with the front desk about getting my room cleaned, hotels are supposed to clean the room regardless whether you ask for them or not that’s common courtesy but this place does not. It became a negotiation tactic this should not even be a conversation as hotels are supposed to clean your room daily. The Wifi is shotty at best. Logging on to Wi-Fi seems to be a very difficult challenge as once you connect to the Wi-Fi in your settings then you have to go to your web browser and log in a code and that doesn’t happen. Finally, after about 10 attempts the web login page pulled up. Their Wi-Fi system does not allow your connected device to stay on you have to re-login every time you shut down your device therefore you have the same problem all over again also I found it harder to connect at late night hours as opposed to the morning and I’m not sure if they’re cutting off the Wi-Fi the other problem that I had was it would connect to one device and not the other. I can’t recommend this place at all if you’re looking for good service the hotel room is nice but that’s where it ends. This hotel lacks good service or good customer service at the front desk, they just keep repeating “sir it's policy” to do this, certain policy to do that and if that’s their policy with Customer service and how they handle a problem or three customers it’s not a hotel I suggest anyone going to, especially for the high dollar amount per night I do not recommend this hotel at all.

It's a good hotel for the price. Location is excellent with Museum Campus Metra station right in front and bus stations nearby. You can also walk to downtown. There are Walgreens stores and a Target store nearby so you can buy anything you might need. It was cold in winter but the heating was good. Radiator had some noise but ear plugs can easily solve the issue. Definitely a budget option. I was happy with it because it was a business trip.

We were in town for a family wedding The hotel staff was courteous and could not have been more accommodating The room was very comfortable and housekeeping was extremely attentive. We would make a daily walk to Cozy Corner restaurant for the ultimate in breakfast To the entire staff many thanks

Comfortable hotel, was a nice stay but overall I wish I would have spent an extra $50-75 a night to stay somewhere nicer. Upon entering there are 2 front desks, one with a sign for VOCO and one with a sign for Holiday Inn, when I arrived I stood at the VOCO side and eventually the employee from the holiday inn side asked if I needed anything to which I replied that I was checking in and she rolled her eyes and responded “okay……then come over here” not sure how I was supposed to know it was one hotel and I could check in at holiday inn? Still not 100% sure if this is a holiday inn rebranded or why the front desk attendant felt the need to be rude. Pros: - great water pressure - good lighting in the bathroom - quick delivery/service of towels - large room, updated furniture - water stations are super convenient, can fill the provided glass jugs and keep them in your fridge - safe area right on the Riverwalk - great view from room Cons: - I went down to the market to get plastic silverware for takeout and had to pay $1.12 for a plastic fork…..couldn’t be charged to the room, just a bad experience having to go back up to my room and get my credit card to buy a fork after traveling for 8 hours and wanting to relax and eat dinner, for $900 for a 3 night stay I think a plastic fork could be complimentary - The heat/AC completely shut off my last night, the thermostat died/none of the buttons or fan would work, I can’t speak to how they would have handled it because I didn’t try, it was 10pm and I was just tired and didn’t want to deal with someone coming to the room - overall the staff just seems disinterested in your presence or experience, even when checking out I let them know about the thermostat so they could get it fixed for the next room and they just replied “okay” - could have been a little cleaner, see picture of fan where metal covering is coming off and corner was sharp
