2/10 Poor

So Unhappy

I had a horrible time I prepaid for parking and was supposed to be able to go in and out but ended up paying extra for parking because the person who checked in didn’t give me a ticket….. then that night when we were in the room the room was cold as hell… they ended up sending me a heater I really was unhappy and they didn’t really seem eager to make me feel better about the stay.

Recommend it!

Great location, right in front of the Trump tower. We’ve got a river view for additional USD 10 and it totally worth it. Sofa bed worked perfectly for our 4 yo daughter.

8/10 Very good

Good Luck if You Don't Speak Spanish

Nice rooms, great location, excellent value, but no one except front desk staff speaks English. Had a problem when the lounge coffee machine stopped working and three staff members were fiddling with it. I tried to learn if it was close to being repaired or would require a service visit from a tech, but none of them could understand a word I was saying. I'm all for bilingual employees, but none of them were. This is the United States, right?

4/10 Fair

River hotel Chicago

We were on the 23rd floor and the elevator was broken at the beginning. No offer to change room after making us wait in lobby. Once we got to room, the AC hardly worked. There was no refrigerator in the room, which was not told to us. No ice buckets in room, you had to go back down to the ground floor for ice. Elevators took up to 10 minutes at times. Staff was friendly and room was clean but need to be more transparent about amenities and have some efficiency issue.

8/10 Very good

It was great, but my biggest complaint is you don't seem to be able to change the temperature in your room other than using the fan. Our room was so hot we couldn't sleep the first night, and we ran into another guest down in the lounge having the same problem. Other complaint is the shower; it is just a spigot on the wall in the bathroom with a curtain, so the floor of the whole bathroom would become a wet zone anytime someone showered. Other than that, it was great, staff were very friendly, and the room was very spacious.
