Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Owned by the same group as the City Suites Hotel (above), the Majestic blends seamlessly into its residential neighborhood. Located on a charming tree-lined street -- but convenient to the many restaurants and shops of Lincoln Park -- this is a good choice for anyone who wants a quiet retreat rather than a see-and-be-seen spot. Guests receive a complimentary continental breakfast, 24-hour coffee and tea service, and afternoon cookies in the lobby. Some of the larger suites -- the most appealing are those with sun porches -- offer butler's pantries with a fridge, microwave, and wet bar. Most of the other rooms are fairly dark (since you're surrounded by apartment buildings on almost all sides), and you should avoid the claustrophobic single rooms with alley views. Ideally suited for enjoying the North Side, the Majestic is only a short walk from both Wrigley Field and the lake.
