River Hotel

The location was great! We were able to get to and from O'Hare on the Blue Line. Close to Michigan Ave so close to all the major tourist attractions. Most attractions were easy to walk to. Lots of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Across the bridge from Architecture Riverboat Tours and across the street from the bus stop that took us to the Museum of Science and Industry. Staff we interacted with (Tony and Pedro) were wonderfully helpful! We enjoyed our stay!

As we were staying for 6 nights we booked a 2 bedroom suite and it was absolutely perfect, just a little bit more room to spread out and feel comfortable. The coat hooks spread throughout the room were great especially travelling in winter and having to layer up because of the cold. We didn’t have a car so wanted something central that we couldn’t walk everywhere and River Hotel was perfect for that. We walked everywhere, even in the snow along the riverwalk at 9pm to watch the fireworks at Navy Pier. Oh and the free guest laundry was amazing especially when you are travelling for 6 weeks and need to do washing.

My room was great and the bed was super comfortable. I had a room on the 37th floor (only 38!) - the views were outstanding and my room was super quiet with only two rooms on the floor! Great linens and quality towels - plenty of hot water too! The location was fantastic, and we used the SpotHero app to find a convenient nearby garage for parking. There were great restaurants next door where we ate breakfast both days. Loved easy access to Riverwalk, Michigan Avenue and so much more.

Great location. Right along the river in the middle of The Loop and around the corner from Magnificent Mile. Easy to pop out and pop back if you're between the many activities available in the area (I spent a lot of time going in and out between bookings and appointments in the city). Room was very comfortable and a decent size. WiFi a tad patchy but it rarely caused any issues. I had a slight issue with noise in the hallway from people going in and out of the rooms nearby, but I'd put that down to ignorant guests rather than the hotel itself. Staff were lovely and always eager to help with queries regardless of their nature. Vouchers were given on arrival for businesses/bars nearby which was a lovely touch. Absolutely no complaints about my stay and would definitely come back again.

The location is absolutely perfect for a short time visit to Chicago. Next to the river, next to the boat cruises, less than 1 km walk to the Art Institute of Chicago, 30 min walk to the Union Train Station. The hotel is situated in the city centre, minutes away from Magnificent Mile. Several comfortable lifts available. lifts The room is very warm, and it's easy to self-regulate temperature. TV screen is large, and with simple access to key news channels, in English and Spanish languages.
