Chicago Hotels With a Game Room

A game room solves a specific problem: what to do with restless kids in the hour before or after dinner when a full outing is not realistic. Moxy Chicago Downtown's game room sits close enough to the rooms that a family can slip down for twenty minutes without a major production, then head back up to wind down before bed. The hotel's 700-metre distance to the Magnificent Mile also means a game room break pairs easily with a shopping stop, without requiring a taxi or a long walk in between, which keeps a busy downtown day from feeling rushed.

A game room tends to suit school-age kids and tweens best, old enough to enjoy the activities without needing constant one-on-one supervision, but still young enough to want an indoor break from walking. Moxy Chicago Downtown's location in River North, surrounded by restaurants and nightlife, works well for that age group paired with a family dinner nearby, though teens may find the game room itself less of a draw than younger siblings would, and might prefer exploring the neighbourhood's shops on foot instead while the rest of the family plays a round indoors.

Moxy Chicago Downtown sits at a moderate 3-star rate, one of the more affordable options on this Chicago list, which makes the game room a low-cost add-on rather than a reason on its own to pay a premium. Families prioritizing budget alongside an indoor activity for the kids will find good value here, though those wanting a pool or kids club alongside the game room should compare against other, pricier properties on this list instead, since Moxy does not currently offer either amenity as part of its published lineup of guest facilities.
