Holiday Inn Express Chicago - Magnificent Mile by IHG

There’s plenty to do nearby, with bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores all an easy walk away. If you’re up for a longer walk, Navy Pier is about a 3.5-4 mile round trip. The room was small but cozy and comfortable, with everything in good working order. It suited me fine since I spent most of my time out in the city. Being so centrally located made this a convenient place to return to and relax.

I spent four nights here and had a pretty great stay. The front desk staff were very nice, breakfast was included, and there were lots of things close by. The room was what you’d expect for the price. Good hotel, and I’ll stay here again.

We had fresh towels and linens throughout, and the location made it easy to walk wherever we needed to go. My daughter and I stayed from 02/15/26 to 02/20/26. Our flight got in early, and Valerie at the front desk got us into a room right away. I’d accidentally booked a king instead of two queen beds, but she sorted it out immediately. That was a great start to our stay in Chicago. We skipped breakfast, though coffee and hot chocolate were available around the clock. There was no fridge or microwave, but with the cold weather we just kept our drinks by the window. The day before we left, I asked about a later checkout since our flight was at 6pm, and the front desk said we could stay until 2pm at no extra hassle. Everyone, from the door staff to housekeeping and the front desk, gave solid service. This will be my spot next time I visit Chicago in summer or fall. Thanks to all of you!

We’ve never had a better continental breakfast. Those cinnamon rolls, wow. The room was clean enough, but the outside windows, upper light, and bathroom details could use more attention. The outlets were oddly placed: none in the bathroom, and none near the coffee maker, so I had to move it. I also wish they’d sent the parking QR code before check-in instead of making us ask for it.
