Find Hotels with Early Check-in in The Loop, IL from CA $176

"Oh, River Hotel, how do I hate you? Let me count the ways. It was very difficult to find the hotel. It's narrow and short squished between two buildings which are much bigger. The hotels directions are terrible. All I have to say is that it's right next to the Sofitel, and I would've found it immediately. Despite knowing the city well, I spent about an hour driving around looking for it.My car sat out front, engine running, in the valet area for up to 2 hours before *I* saw it and told them to park it. My first key didn't work so I had to traipse back downstairs to get a new one. After I entered my room and got myself organized I looked for the room service menu. I wanted a bite before I left for my event. No room service. Then I remembered the hotel had a lounge which served food. I went downstairs to the lounge, and what did I discover but a room with some comfy chairs a coffee machine and a refrigerator full of water. Period. After having complained, I will say that the rooms and bathrooms are quite clean, above average. So kudos to housekeeping! Also kudos to the young woman working the desk wearing a dark suit and pink glasses. She was tremendously helpful to me. Unfortunately, that car sitting out front ruined the staff score."

"Great location. Wonderful staff! Would definitely recommend this hotel. "

"Great view"

"The suite had a 2 person tub with jets & was magnificent. Black out curtains, beautiful view with multiple windows/angles, comfortable bedding, the bathroom separated the livingroom from the bedroom. Every staff member was AMAZING & I greatly appreciated their diverse, beautiful, helpful personalities. They rent out umbrellas, location was perfect for us because we found everything we wanted out of this trip within a 20 min walk or an easy to navigate train ride. I highly suggest checking out nearby places like Macy's & City Hall, The Riverwalk, The Bean. Ramen-San was the best ramen I've ever had & the window seating is great for people watching. 10/10 would visit again"

"Everything was great, cleanliness, bedding, linen etc. but the towels smelled of barbecue!! That is unusual and I have never encountered this situation before. It may be a one-off situation, but I can't predict."

"Waited 10 minutes for someone to actually appear at front desk upon check in, and when they did arrive, only directed guests to kiosks to check in themselves. No welcome, no review of property or amenities, no ID check. Bed felt like it was 2 decades old at best, springs felt throughout and saggy. At check out, same thing, directed to kiosks. At no time did anyone from the staff offer a welcome or ask about my stay. Convenient location, but price not worth what is actually offered at the property."

"Lovely hotel Great location Very friendly and helpful staff"

"My room wasn't very clean and very dusty, I would described it as “picked up” rather than clean. They never cane to clean our room at all. The location was great, and getting free parking was a steal or else I would have stayed elsewhere. The staff were really helpful and friendly and I really appreciated that."

"Nice and clean and conveniently located. "
