Chicago and related destinations

Towering skyscrapers create a skyline that seems to rise straight from Lake Michigan's blue waters. The Art Institute houses masterpieces while Millennium Park's reflective 'Bean' sculpture distorts the city in delightful ways. Navy Pier offers carnival-like fun with a giant Ferris wheel providing spectacular views. Wrigley Field remains gloriously old-school, where ivy-covered walls and hand-turned scoreboards transport baseball fans to another era. Deep-dish pizza at local institutions sparks fierce debates about whose crust reigns supreme. The Chicago River's architecture boat tours reveal how the city rebuilt itself after the Great Fire. Field Museum's Sue, the world's most complete T-Rex, stares down visitors with 65-million-year-old intensity.

River Hotel

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Although the rooms are small, they are certainly livable. The view out of our window was amazing and you could see directly down the river. The staff were amazing, acknowledged you when you went in and out, and were always ready to help if you needed them. The property is extremely clean and very centralized to the downtown area. Chicago is a great walking city. I would definitely recommend this hotel and when I go back for a second time, I will stay here again."

"The building and rooms could stand some renovations - specifically the carpet and walls/plaster. There were also gnats and spiders in my room. Not an infestation but enough to be slightly annoying. Otherwise, the staff and amenities (especially the breakfast, drinks, and dinner credits) were great. It’s in a good location - very safe and walkable."
