Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's location, highlighting its proximity to attractions and overall convenience. The friendly staff and cleanliness were also noted positively. However, many guests expressed dissatisfaction with the small room size, describing it as cramped with limited space for luggage. Additionally, there were concerns regarding the amenities, such as breakfast options and lack of facilities like microwaves or fridges. Overall, while the hotel offers great value for its location, improvements in room size and amenities are needed.

Pros (+) Chicago is a beautiful city. The River Hotel couldn't have been located any better. Our view was ok nothing great because we were in the 2nd floor. The hotel staff was very nice.

Cons (-) The elevator service was terrible. We would often wait over 20 minutes to catch the elevator during the day, and the stairs were not practical when you're staying in the 28th floor.

Pros (+) Good location
Cons (-) My king bed was actually a king box spring with two twin mattresses. Who does that? The seam is right in the middle of your back.
