The Royal Sonesta Chicago River North

The location in the River North area was great! Go to the Goddess & the Baker down the street for breakfast…so amazing! You are across the street from Grand L train. So convenient! All of the staff were welcoming. We felt it was a great value. We enjoyed our stay!

The hotel's location is great — you can pretty much walk anywhere from there, and there are lots of bars and restaurants just a few blocks away. The staff was very friendly and polite. If you're visiting in the spring or summer, you can borrow one of the hotel's bikes and ride around Chicago. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. The toiletries smelled amazing. I didn't use the gym and saw that the pool was closed, so if you're interested in using the facilities, it's best to check in advance to see what's open

I selected this hotel solely based on the close proximity to my cousin's bridal shower, but I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The rooms are gorgeous, the pool is surrounded by stunning city views, and very single staff member went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I had my 3 year old twin girls with me on this trip, and from the moment we arrived, they were treated like absolute royalty as well. They made quick friends with the doorman, who gave them high-fives and goody bags every time we walked into the hotel. At one point, I also ran down to the front desk at one point and asked if they had any extra notepads for my girls to color on. The person at the front desk couldn't find any, but said he'd be happy to have someone run up with one shortly. Before I knew it, someone was knocking on our door with a large notepad, coloring books and crayons. I was BLOWN AWAY! After a few nights at this hotel, my girls were asking if we could move there. I told them that we sadly had to go back home to Atlanta, but we will most definitely be back the next time we come to Chicago!

This is a great hotel with perfect walking distance to multiple stores, sights, and great restaurants. It was my 5th time in Chicago, and out of all the hotels I've stayed in this was my favorite one by far :) The room was large and very comfortable, had all the amenities I personally needed. It was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the pillows too. Loved it!

Staff was wonderful they accommodated all my room request. My upgraded room was wonderful. Centrally located in the downtown area with lots of places to eat, shop etc around.
