We love the River Hotel and stay there whenever we are in Chicago. There were two issues this time which were surprising given how perfect they usually are: the tv didn’t seem to work and we were given a double bed instead of a queen. The hotel was extremely busy so we didn’t try to change rooms. Next time we’ll check amenities right away.
