Great stay in Downtown Chicago

Deluxe Room - 10/10. Great size. Clean. Sensible size TV for the room. Good choice of channels and the casting was a welcome experience. Good size safe and fridge, but only a coffee maker (i.e. no tea)… Bathroom - 10/10. Clean and decent size. Great shower. Double wash basins. Bed - 10/10. Nice bed. 4 good night’s sleep. WiFi - 10/10. No issues. Gym - N/a. Didn’t use. Breakfast - 10/10. Great choice and very good quality. Varied slightly everyday. Staff - 10/10. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel - 10/10. Great location in Downtown Chicago, just off the Magnificent Mile. Quite new and looks it too. Everything was fresh and modern, just as you’d hope/expect. Would definitely recommend.

Breakfast buffet was excellent. Shortage of cleaning staff created some problems—two times the room wasn’t serviced until after 5:00 p.m. Room was fine but we needed information about turning on and using the TV. Also needed instructions on using the soap dispensers in the bathroom. Seems trivial, but it’s the little things that separate good from excellent. Staff was cordial and helpful.

Looking forward to next stay at a Riu Hotel

This was my first stay at a Riu Hotel. It was outstanding on every level - service, atmosphere, cleanliness - you name it. The breakfast was outstanding - state of the art buffet - well-stocked and very tasty. Location is fabulous - just a block off Miracle Mile. Will definitely stay again.

The hotel was great but we were hit with an unexpected $50 charge at checking that wasn’t noted when booking the room. I might have chosen a different hotel if I had known about this charge. It kinda ruined my thoughts on the hotel, but overall the experience was positive

Clean rooms and friendly staff. Centrally located. Breakfast is a feast. One of the best hotel breakfasts I have experienced. Roof top bar has a terrific view of the City and perfect for an evening cocktail. They don't have their own parking. I think this is typical for downtown so I recommend figuring that out before you arrive.

Breakfast buffet was the best I have seen in any business class hotel - great variety, fresh, fully stocked. The hotel is new and beautifully decorated; the roof top bar has a great view and not too expensive. Fast elevators. The location is perfect for easily going to Michigan Avenue, The Navy Pier, catching a boat tour, etc.
