2/10 Poor

Not impressed
The hotel room had stains on the carpet, and smelt strongly of cigarettes. Very dissapointed in the stark difference of lobby to room. Yes the price was slightly cheaper, but not enough to make up the difference between this hotel and the one right next door. Didnt even stay one night. Booked and paid for 3, told would get refund for the last 2 nights...we'll see.

Our 2nd Stay at the River Hotel
This is our 2nd trip to Chicago this year. My husband and I knew we would be back at the River Hotel. The service at check in, during our stay, and check out was perfection!

Best place to stay
I love the River Hotel! We stay here every time we visit. The location is perfect, staff are amazing and so friendly, the rooms are always clean and perfect. Yes the rooms are on the smaller side but who cares, you’re not in them that much. They are still great. Plus the hotel is perfectly located for just about everything.

Loved location!
Great hotel by the river and MIchigan St. Location was excellent for shopping and walking to great restaurant. The hotel/rooms were clean and well upkeeped. The female worker at the reception was excellent, very helpful. My truck didn’t fit at the parking garage provided by the hotel and she gave me a lot of suggestions of where else i can park and refunded the parking we had already paid with them. Will decently come back!

As expected
All was as expected except there was only one operational elevator which resulted in long waits

6/10 Good

Just Ok, will not return.
At check in, I was given the room I reserved. The front desk person was nice enough to waiver my early check in fee and gives us the correct room. That would have been fine but one of the 2 elevators was out of order and it was a MAJOR inconvenience. MN ade it worse because we left the hotel several times. A couple of those times we waited 5+ mins to get to our room.

Never Stay Here Again
There was NO assistance with baggage upon arrival, especially when it was obvious that I had two duffles, a backpack and a camera case. The front door very difficult to open. Check-in was terrible - hotel employee only pointed out how to check-in via a computer screen and had me hold my room card to program it. The registration desk was not used. Check-out, with the same employee, was equally poor.

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.
