Didn’t do the check in because they didn’t have parking for my vehicle, hotel manager Keshelle Petty said call Expedia she will authorize a refund but Expedia didn’t get to talk to the hotel, so we ended up doing a reservation in a near hotel with parking. In Expedia website mentioned parking available for the royal sonesta. Wrong!

This was our first time visiting chicago, and the royal sonesta made it a great experience. It is in a very convenient location with many things to do around, it was very clean, and the staff was very friendly!
