River Hotel

The location s perfect. It's near Millenium park, the river, restaurants and so on. The bed is comfortable, hot tea in the room was very nice, I could see the river from my room and it was not noisy. And that's a good bonus to use computers and to have purified water in the hotel! I enjoyed my staying in River Hotel and would recommend it to my friends going to Chicago for the first time.

This is a fantastic business centre hotel. This business centre facilities can be accessed 24/7 and the staff are very helpful with any assistance if required, like scanning documents to be emailed overseas during the early hours of the morning. Also the location is perfect. We were happy with this hotel.

feel good & clean the staff are very nice~ It's very convenience to book a room on net the breakfast in hotel is deliceous

This hotel is close to everything! Close to major attractions and means of transportation, with a view to the river. Clean rooms, great service, polite staff. I liked the idea of the lounge, where you can sit, watch something on TV and have a cup of complimentary coffee, tea or water.

Great location. Room is small but very well and cleverly laid out, so that even with a big bed and a business desk, there's room to get around, and you don't feel cramped. Beautifully, stylishly and tastefully decorated, clean, attractive and comfortable. For the price, I was exceptionally pleased with this deal.

I decided to stay here after my plane was long delayed in Chicago. Because of the weather there were no rooms available near the airport. The hotel is just a few blocks for the L stop that goes to O'Hare. It's on Wacker Dr, on the south side of the river, just a couple of blocks west of Michigan Ave. There are several nice places to eat just a block or two away, so for me location was perfect. The room was smallish, but modern and very clean. Comfortable queen size bed, very small flat screen TV (maybe 24"), small bathroom with only a shower, nice size desk space, coffee maker, and so on. Staff friendly and very helpful. I would stay here again in a second.

Everything was fine and as expected. some remodeling, especially of the elevators would be nice.

I loved the location, however the room was decorated very new/age retro, not very "homey" feeling.

When arriving there, the staff was welcoming and helpful. The elevators were kinda shabby but the age of the over all hotel was cute. In the room, they provided a coffee maker with some tea and coffee, with a water dispenser in the hallways of the hotel rooms. There's a TV and FREE WIFI! The hotel room looked out over a river, which was AWESOME! From this hotel you will pretty much hear most if not all city sounds because it's on a busy street and the buildings have formed a valley around the river which can cause for some echoing. I traveled with one other friend and we found the room to be small but the view, location, and price of the overall stay makes up for it. This hotel was the cheapest I could find while still being able to be in walking distance of some of the best attractions. Just around the corner is the Magnificent Mile, for great shopping. 15 minutes away, North, is the John Handcock Tower, which has the BEST view of Chicago, by far. Also, Lincoln Park, is just a bit North past the Handcock Tower... which is a great area for bike riding. This hotel is about 30 minutes away from the Midway Airport, so it makes for a decent cab ride. Make sure to go South West along Michigan to see the Silver Bean and the Memorial Fountain! Eat the Deep Dish pizza while there if you can.

In general, I am very much satisfied. But, when I was checking out, the lady at the counter had very cold and snobbish attitude toward me (female, Asian), while her attitude toward the next one (male, Caucasian) was 'clearly' much politer and nicer. (This is on May 20th around 8 a.m.) This ruined all my experience at this hotel. So, I will not stay there again. Just to make sure, I myself was very polite. (I mean, some of the staff were very nice to me. So, my impression is that the experience with their staff depends on your luck if you are an Asian female, while you are more likely to have no trouble with them if otherwise.)
