river hotel
hotel was in a good location, I had requested river view but if you're claustrophobic a corner room is not the room for you, the window was so small and I had called to ask to change but they were full for the day, I had to stay out of the room as much as possible which was not fun. The bathroom was outdated and didn't look clean the vents had dust, elevator took forever but other than that it was ok for one night.

Book with confidence!
Booked: two bedroom suite Condition: bed was very comfy and linens felt lovely. Bathroom was well appointed. Spotlessly clean. Rooms could use a remodel and a spruce up, BUT it was not offensively outdated and I have NO complaints on the quality of the space. Microwave also functions as a convection oven. Plates, cups, utensils, cooktop, pots and pans included. Refrigerator is fairly generously sized. Love the water bottle filler across from the elevator. Staff were fantastic, helpful and fun! Location is superb at the corner of Wacker and Michigan in the middle of the Miracle Mile. Picked this hotel as the one I typically stay in was asking over $800 per night for a one bedroom suite that is a bit larger but no less convenient. This was a great alternative for 30% of the price basically leaving more money for $hopping!!!!! Will definitely return to this hotel in future.
