My wife and I chose to stay here when we planned our trip last October to see the Genesis reunion tour at United Center. I had contacted the management and told them that this was going to be a speacial trip and that I wanted nothing but the best for my wife, as we don't get many chances to travel.... more

We were with a group for a wedding, so supposedly we received the "preferred" rate because of that. Other members of the group had been shown 2 rooms several months earlier and they were impressed by the spaciousness and lovely furniture. When we checked in, credit card information was written by hand on a paper form, completed by me with... more

The hotel is currently undergoing a major renovation. We were staying in the hotel along with a large group of wedding guests. The rooms that had been renovated were gorgeous. It is incredible that they can charge so little for such spacious accomodations. The rooms are really small apartments complete with kitchens and living rooms. Our room had not been... more

If you're searching for a fine hotel in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago, don't look further than the Belden Stratford. The price of a night's stay was more than repaid by the hotel's proximity to Lake Michigan, The Lincoln Park Zoo, and Lake Shore Dr (affording quick access to Shedd Aquarium, the museum, Soldier Field, etc.) As other reviews... more

We arrived at the Belden and were very pleased. It looked very nice like it did in the pictures. We tried checking in at about 1:00pm-because our flight arrived into town at 12-and were told our room wasn't ready. We weren't real please but it's understandable. We left our bags there and came back at 3:30. At this point there... more

We had a big family event in Chicago, with people coming from all over the country. My wife booked two suites and two regular rooms three months before the event and paid for the rooms in advance. When we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist told us there were no rooms available and we would have to wait for the... more

My husband and I have stayed here many times because it is in close proximity to things we need to do in Chicago, and the price is right. I enjoy staying in a neighborhood-style hotel away from the downtown area. But, I would have to agree with many of the things I have read in the other reviews. Our experience... more

When we decided to try a new hotel in Chicago, I was a little worried. I have always stayed at the same hotel because I knew what to expect. I can't begin to describe how wonderfully surprised we were when we pulled up to The Belden-Stratford. The hotel is gorgeous. And the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I have... more

After booking three nights at the Belden-Stratford, my wife and I found several bad reviews of the hotel online that made us question our sensibility in staying there. We kept our reservation, however, and were extremely happy with the hotel. Many reviews claim disinterested staff and out-of-date rooms; we experienced the complete opposite. Our room (a suite) overlooking the Lincoln... more
