    This is a classic Chicago hotel. Location, location, location. Perfect. Close to tons of activities. Great beds. Nice rooms. Got $25 vouchers for meals at restaurant next door and it was great. Added them on during checkout for $0

    The room was small, but for one person more than enough. It was clean. The bed was comfortable. And of course, location is perfect!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Breakfast is next door and gratuity is not included. Excellent location. Staff very helpful and considerate. Able to drop off bags before checkin. Would definitely rebook at this hotel again

    Perfect Location! Beautiful Hotel, but our room had a lot of issues main one was the bathroom light stop permanently working the day we were leaving. I had to use my flashlight from my phone to get ready at 2am.

    The AC was blowing hot air so thankfully we could switch rooms. Everything else was fine. Nice area to stay, it’s an d hotel that could use some updates.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staff was excellent. Elevators got congested the higher the floor you stay on.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent location! Couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great location and good value for money

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Old and dirty room, rug was disgusting in the bedroom. The charger ports sticky and haven't cleaned for ages. It was advertised as The River Hotel and I was ending up staying in Club Quarters. This is a false advertising!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room I was in was next to the elevator shaft. Heard the elevator go up and down with a low grinding sound.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Muy buenas ubicación segura y en centro de todo los lugares importantes,

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    From the minute we checked in and met Jock at the front desk, we knew it was the right hotel! He was BEYOND the best staff member we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He understood our needs and was extremely helpful in all areas of our stay! The hotel was very centrally located and a short walk to attractions in all directions. The hotel was clean and as crazy at this sounds, we even used our black light to check! An awesome place all around! I highly recommend staying here anytime you’re looking for hotels in the Chicago River Walk area! Shout out to our new friend Jock! Could not thank him enough for making our stay so comfortable!
