Just book it! You wont be disappointed!

Fantastic location. We arrived early in the city but were able to have them valet our car for us before checkin. We were celebrating birthdays while there and they left us delicious cupcakes in both rooms. Clean rooms, amazong views, window seats were amazing! Highly recommend.

Had a 2nights stay at L7, hotel’s location is amazing, just a few minutes walk from Michigan Av, the Chicago River and Millennium Park. The room and amenities were very nice, we chose the room with the huge bay window which my kid really liked and the bed was very comfy. The only negative thing is that most reception staff I encountered were not as kind and welcoming as you’d expect (this is excluding the doorman and luggage carriers which were always very nice and helpful)

Check in was a nightmare. Front desk staff wasn’t helpful. Good luck getting a coffee in the morning with the one working elevator. My room was dirty when I got there, hair on the floor and stuff on the sheets. It took my having to ask for towels to get them in my “newly cleaned” room that I had to wait several hours for. I frequent Chicago often. This is the least recommended hotel I have for others. The only reason I would recommend is for the location, but even that there are other options on the same 1-2 block radius. Definitely not worth the money.

I loved staying at this hotel! My friend and I stayed 3 nights for a concert. The staff were super kind, helpful and very friendly! They were honestly the best! The room was also very impressive. The bathroom was so nice and very clean. There was a table to eat comfortably and work when we needed. The tv was easy to connect to with my phone. We loved the mini fridge to cool down our drinks with the hot summer weather outside. My favorite part was the sitting area right on the window! I loved coming up to the window and enjoying the view at any point in the day. It was also a nice place to read when we had the chance.
Our little nook on the window. Great to watch the world move and read.

Had to check in late but when i got to my room so satisfying. Had a river view suite and the was superb. The big corner windows and huge lounging bay window areas were comfortable and an awesome place to have your morning coffee. The coffee station in the lobby was top notch too. Right across from Riverwalk. Bravo L7.

Beautiful hotel, excellent amenities & convenient!

This was our first visit to Chicago and we really enjoyed our stay at L7. We flew into Midway and easily navigated the trains to get to the hotel. It was really helpful being just half a block from the station after long days of exploring the city with kids. Our room was huge (especially compared to NYC), with tall ceilings and a spacious window seat looking out onto the river. Our kids loved taking midday breaks to relax on the window seat and play their video games. The hotel is in a great location. It’s a quick stroll down the riverfront to get to the Magnificent Mile and easily walkable to Millennium Park and the Navy Pier. Everywhere else was accessible via the trains. Our hotel staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved the delicious coffee available both in our room and in the lobby. The ice cold filtered water tap by the elevators was a luxury that we didn’t know we needed! They even had a little popcorn bar available on the first day we were there. We will definitely stay here the next time we come back. I couldn’t ask for a better experience!

The staff seemed indifferent when I raised my concerns. I was told this is a pet friendly hotel, which unfortunately for us meant that our neighbor that had the connecting door to our room left their dog who was barking uncontrollably and there was nothing they could do about it. They said they tried to call the owner but other than that there was nothing they could do. So while we had a main room and a sleeper sofa, there was nothing that could be done and they told us we could not move rooms. It looks flashy otherwise but the floor was also creaky, the carpet was janky. I feel like it was definitely not worth the price. I would be very careful when choosing to stay here.

Very happy with our stay! It was our first time in the Chicago area, so I didn’t know which accommodation to choose from among the many options. But by the end of our trip I am convinced that we couldn’t have chosen a better one! The location is absolutely perfect and the river views were a great way to start/end our day. Also helps that there is a convenience store right across the street for anything you may need/ have forgotten!
