River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean and convenient. The staff was excellent, Pedro was very helpful as we navigated the city. There were not a lot of amenities, but that was ok as we were aware of that when we booked. The lounge on the second floor was very comfortable with an espresso machine 24 hours."

The Chicago Hotel Collection River North

8/10 Good

"Nice property in a good location. I was concerned about the reviews I saw. However the key is if you don't want the extra charges everyone was concerned about. Don't book the All Inclusive Room Rate. Book a Room Rate Only. I was not charged the extra fees. The Train tracks can be loud at times, but didn't bother me when sleeping. If your a light sleeper. Something to consider. Wish their was a gym on site otherwise nice property."
