Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The location is fantastic! I would consider staying here again. However, I made a reservation for River Hotel and fully expected a view of the Chicago River. But my room was in Club Quarters and my view was a wall. Felt a little mislead. Next time, I will ask more questions about the room selections.

This was convenient for my stay and a less expensive of generally expensive options. The staff was great. The room was fine for just me for one night, but seemed very small. It also seemed like it could use an upgrade and more outlets, but it was clean and convenient.
