Best Embassy Suites by Hilton

This hotel's location in the heart of Portland puts guests near some of the city's top shops, businesses and attractions. Aside from the prime locale, past visitors appreciated the abundance of amenities and perks, which includes a complimentary hot breakfast each morning and evening receptions with free drinks and snacks. When you're in the mood for a full meal, head to Portland Prime restaurant, the on-site eatery that serves Pacific Northwest cuisine. The property is also home to some unique features, such as the ground floor's Grecian-inspired indoor pool and a game room with a billiards table and arcade. When it comes to accommodations, guest rooms and suites are all equipped with flat-screen TVs, minifridges, microwaves and blackout curtains. Groups looking for more space to spread out should consider booking a suite, which feature a separate living room and bedroom. One common gripe past guests noted, though, was that the walls of this hotel are paper thin, which made for an unpleasant stay for light sleepers. Since this hotel is part of the Hilton brand, Hilton Honors members can earn and redeem points here.

The Embassy Suites by Hilton Niagara Falls-Fallsview is a 42-story tower that overlooks Niagara Falls. For breathtaking views, spring for a premium or presidential suite on floors 28 through 41 (though some suites on floors 10 to 15 still boast vistas of the water). All suites offer two or three rooms, flat-screen TVs, minifridges, microwaves and spacious living areas. Once you're done taking in the spectacular scenery, try the on-site T.G.I. Friday's for a casual meal or The Keg Steakhouse and Bar for steak and seafood with dramatic vistas of Niagara Falls. If you're looking to jump-start your day, venture to the hotel lobby, where you can enjoy a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast. You can always work off the calories at the 24-hour fitness center or in the indoor swimming pool. Recent guests appreciated the spacious accommodations, but were not thrilled with the high parking fees and daily "convenience fee;" however, because of this property's Hilton ties, Hilton Honors members can cut costs by choosing to redeem points here.

As its name implies, this member of the Hilton portfolio resides in the heart of downtown Chicago near top attractions like The Magnificent Mile and The Chicago Theatre. On-site amenities include a fitness center, an indoor pool and two eateries – a pizzeria and Osteria Via Stato, an Italian restaurant that serves prix fixe, three-course meals. Many praised the hotel's restaurant fare, but the property's free breakfasts and evening cocktail receptions stood out the most to past guests. Rooms, however, received mixed feedback, despite coming equipped with blackout curtains, flat-screen TVs and wet bars. Some previous visitors bemoaned the thin walls that let in street noise; others liked their accommodations' two-room layouts and comfortable beds. Business travelers added that the hotel's location near the Loop made it a convenient option for conducting work, while shopaholics appreciated being within steps of the city's best stores. And for Hilton Honors loyalty program members, there's another perk: Points can be earned or redeemed for stays at this Embassy Suites outpost.
