Fantastic location. The riverwalk is just across the street. I priced this place out with many others. River Hotel includes many things in their base price (like internet) that other places charge extra for. Staff was pleasant, but not rah-rah, which I appreciate. Orb!tz mislabled the room types on their website. I needed 2 beds and paid for the room labeled standard- queen. It should read, standard OR queen and I had to pay $20 extra for every night to get what I needed.

Great hotel. Great location.

We stayed here over the St. Patty's Day weekend. We had a great room overlooking the Chicago River. The hotel is located near top tourist destinations, great restaurants, and lots of shops. Rooms are cozy, but the customer service was excellent. I would gladly stay at this hotel again.

This was perfect for a short business trip. Great location and I received a room upgrade, which made the experience very comfortable. I would recommend the junior suite for two people. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The location was perfect, close to shopping and museums

Quiet, clean, and tidy room on the 23rd floor

This hotel offers what one can hope for: Quick and nice room service, helpful staff at the reception, great restaurant for dinner and breakfast on the ground floor, free wi-fi, free computers with internet access, and free printer. All of that in downtown Chicago.

Parking cost a plus, "gym" a minus.

Warning-- gym is a couple treadmills and some weights in a tiny room in the basement. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to have filtered water available. Parking was a great deal-- $24/night in a garage one block away. Awesome view from the room, and the location was ideal.

Nightlife tip: Short walk from hotel

ROOF on theWit is just around the corner-- friendly staff, amazing views, nice atmosphere (more conducive to meeting other singes than Trump's Rebar or Sable) and good drinks. If you're a beer drinker, BEST selection at a dive called "Local Option" in Lincoln Park. Monk's Pub has an awesome draught selection as well and is within walking distance- Wells and Lake.
