Top River North Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Chicago River North

10/10 Excellent

"I had an unfortunate situation where my flight was canceled and I couldn’t make it to Chicago due to flash flooding in NY. Johnnie and Beyoncé the staff there were accommodating to me and waived the late checkout fee, and other fees. It didn’t cover the entire cost of my one night but it helped a lot. My only issue with the hotel is maybe due to its location it is a bit noisy. I would have liked a quieter stay at the same time it’s close to everything. Despite this I would stay there again. Whenever I travel to Chicago though I usually stay at different hotels,"

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is perfect. So many restaurants and things to do around the corner and the red line train is right outside. The room itself it’s fine but the beds are not comfortable at all. I’ve had horrible back pain my whole trip. Also, yes it’s the city so it’s noisy outside, but that’s not what kept me awake. It’s the pipes and lack of insulation. If one of the nearby rooms runs water or flushes a toilet, it’s so incredibly loud. At one point I thought my bathroom was flooding from the sound of moving water. I haven’t been able to hear other people talking from other rooms much, but if they are retrieving clothes from their closet or at the coffee station or anything near the walls- it sounds like they are in your room. I am here for an event in town, so I payed an absurd amount for the room, but on a normal day I wouldn’t pay more than $150 a night for this room at best."

Hotel Chicago Downtown, Autograph Collection by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"I always enjoy staying at this hotel. The staff are friendly, its right on the river, everything is very clean, hotel bar area is always a vibe, they offer freebies and discounts on food/drinks/entertainment, and there are so many restaurants within a few feet."
