We loved this hotel. The deal we got on the net made it very reasonable. The lobby is so ornate and beautiful that you feel like you're walking into a palace. Our room was large and clean and had a fully equipped kitchen. We hadn't realised that the rate included continental breakfast - as much as you wanted. They even... more

Wonderful hotel at a great price. Good location for going to cubs game. Nice neighborhood that felt safe and quiet. Service was good. Valet parking was a little high at $38, but well worth it for the room only being $99 on Expedia. Lincoln park is RIGHT across the street and we walked through the zoo in the park for... more

A very very nice place to stay for a get-away to chicago. The hotel and our rooms were very clean and well maintained. My wife and I and our freinds did not have any complaints. All four of us loved the place. The least expensive room was a great deal for the price. My wife and I were upgraded to... more

I can only echo the positive reviews here. My partner and I stayed 5 nights at the B-S at the end of a 3-week trip to the US. After the poky hotel rooms of San Francisco and New York, our suite with king size bed was positively palatial. We also really enjoyed the free continental breakfast and having laundrey facilities... more

We stayed at the Belden-Stratford for 5 nights in May 2009. Our room was large, and we had 5 closets! Also had a full kitchen and an amazing view of the lake. Don't rent a car in Chicago - parking is ridiculous. Use CTA - you can get anywhere you need to go. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and... more

As it was our first visit to Chicago, we didn't really know what to expect and chose this hotel largely on the basis of Tripadvisor reviews. Imagine our horror, then, when after booking a couple of not-so-good reviews appeared. We need not have worried. From the moment we entered we were charmed by it. Our room may not have been... more

We stayed at the Belden-Stratford for 3 nights at the end of February. The lobby was gorgeous and the staff was very friendly. The room we had was quite large, but the bathroom is small. All the furnishings and decor were quite shabby and very dated. The room was clean as was the small kitchen (the oven was ancient). The... more

The room was very large and comfortable but the service was ridiculously bad. We got lost on our way to the hotel and when we called the hotel we got a very surly employee who ultimately put us on hold (without asking) and then declined to give us directions (suggesting we just ask someone off the street). great. this level... more

It’s unfortunate that some sites bill the Belden Stratford as a 4-star hotel, because it certainly is not. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, the hotel is in a great location and the staff was friendly. But I think a 4-star hotel should offer something special, and our room definitely did not. Judging from... more
