The location is great, easy access to Riverwalk and restaurants. I was able to check in early in the afternoon and went to place some items in the “cooling unit” but noticed it was warm. I attempted to adjust the temperature dial to no avail. I called the front desk and they sent someone from engineering who states the unit is “super old” and there was nothing he could do. He suggested I call the front desk to request a refrigerator which I did. I was informed that all of the refrigerators are in use and I was first on the wait list. I called again the next day and the day after and was repeatedly told that there were no refrigerators available. Unfortunately I ended up wasting a fair amount of food without a proper way to cool leftovers. I do a fair amount of travel and can not remember the last room I stayed in that didn’t have this feature, especially at this price point.

We’ve been to Chicago a few times but this is the first time staying at this hotel. The building itself is very centrally located. We pretty much walked EVERYWHERE. We even participated in a gangster ghost tour that met up just a couple of blocks away. Restaurant, shopping and entertainment is all within a few blocks. Location was 10/10! The room was nice. I think we got a river front view…I believe that was an upgrade? Housekeeping was always courteous and got us anything extra we requested. My favorite part was probably the concierge lounge. Breakfast and a light dinner was provided and on the days they were closed, the front desk gave us some vouchers to cover part of the hotel restaurant charges or to spend at their little market. Overall, I really enjoyed staying here and would likely be coming back.

Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking a hotel. They compare hundreds of booking web sites and typically will have rates much cheaper than others! You're welcome :)! This hotel is one of the most well known in this area. I have been coming here for a very long time. If you stay for a few nights you definitely won't be let down. One of the best hotels in River North! Excellent customer service. The rooms are beautiful and spacious with a small fridge and you can request a microwave. The lobby is gorgeous and a great place to eat or just sit by the bar.

This resort is one of my favorites in the area. I've been staying here for a very long time. If you decide to stay here you for sure won't be let down. Last minute trip in the middle of the week excellent accommodations but the view day or night beautiful One of the best hotels in River North! Excellent customer service.

I've stayed at this property multiple times over the past twenty years. The location is excellent, in walking distance to River North, Michigan Avenue, Art Institute, the El and much more. This is a quiet, comfortable hotel with friendly, excellent service. The decor is a little dated but in good condition. The rooms with a river view are especially cool, but even if you get a city view it's easy to walk outside and enjoy the views of the river, as the hotel is right on the water.

Excellent hotel at perfect location on the river. Rooms are large, clean, and comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Special mention to Daniel in the reception who helped us move quickly and efficently from a poor experience in the hotel next door. Stayed 5 nights and would gladly return.

I stayed here for a few nights in fall of 2021. The city of Chicago had a mask mandate and the hotel took the precautions seriously. Most people I saw in the common areas were wearing masks. Hand sanitizing stations were set up in the lobby and near the elevators. The staff was friendly and very helpful. It is tough to beat the location!

Everybody that I interacted was very nice and extremely helpful, especially the ladies at the front desk! The customer service was topnotch and better than most hotels that I have stayed at recently. Melissa was also great to work with when it came time to tweak our reservations! THANK YOU to everyone...keep up the great customer service!

We had a wonderful stay here for our anniversary. Lisa, the concierge, helped us book a perfect architecture cruise and a beautiful dinner. She did everything a great guide should do providing us with numerous options and advice for making the most of each experience. World class service.

I liked this hotel. Good location, and I enjoyed the rooms. Check-in experience could be improved - I was unclear that breakfast in the Elite lounge closed at 10am. When I got there at 11am it was completely closed (staff were just refilling the room), I think a sign that said someone would be returning would be helpful. Thankfully the manager Zack was able to make up the breakfast for us which brings this to a 4 star for exemplary customer experience. Thanks Zack!
