Top University of Chicago Hotel Reviews

Chicago Lake Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very closed to the Places we were visiting"

Villa Dubois Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place"

Bright Vintage U of C Center Condo with WiFi, AC in enjoyable Chicago

8/10 Good

"3 bedrooms - excellent if you have a large party. Plenty of space, stocked kitchen (utensils, plates, cookware). Comfortable beds, free wifi. Very clean throughout and had been thoroughly updated, so rooms and furniture did not feel old or crusty at all. It was a great place to call home base during our visit. Nothing special (ie did not have anything "impressive") but nothing bad either. A dirty dish towel, and dirty towel in bathroom were left behind by previous guests. Checkin process was odd - the host mailed me the keys and they arrived the night before the trip, so we were a little anxious."

Bronzeville Manor walking distance to hospitals

10/10 Excellent

"Great property in a safe, nice area close to UChicago. We stayed two nights while moving my son in and I would highly recommend!"

Mccormick Place Guest House

8/10 Good

"I had a wonderful stay at the DuBois McCormick Place Guest House. The location was very convenient, especially for visiting McCormick Place and exploring the surrounding area. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. I also appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the overall attention to detail. The guest house offered a comfortable home base after a busy day, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. I would happily recommend the DuBois McCormick Place Guest House to both business and leisure travelers, and I look forward to staying there again."

Cozy 3BR Near Obama Presidential Center, Hyde Park & UChicago

10/10 Excellent

"Three guests stayed at this residence. Loved each had individual room. Very clean and well stocked. Came specifically for Obama Presidential Center which was conveniently near residence. Also hit Millineum park & magnificent mile. Was lucky to come during Annual Jazz festival. Good selection of food within walking or Uber. Aldi near by for quick items. Parking on street with space in front of residence the entire time we stayed. Would definitely recommend!"
