"Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast offered a wonderful selection. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It takes a day to adjust to hearing sirens but that's to be expected in this area. Lovely walk to the river (approx 1hr) or a two minute walk to the train, so very easy to commute. "

"Good breakfast, limited hours. Rooms are clean and new"

"Beautiful on the surface. Terrible smell of heavy perfume in the rooms. What on earth happened here to require such a strong smell to cover it up? All the hotel provided soaps and lotions are heavy scented dollar store brands. Pack your own. No maid service until late in the day, after 3:30pm. We had to vacate room for housekeeping after just getting back. Luxury looking property, but skimping on details. Clearly there’s not enough staff to cover the required rooms. Every member of staff was exceptional, they were just clearly overwhelmed. "

"Lovely place to stay. Very clean and staff was so polite and helpful!!"

"I can only review the staff at The River Hotel is AMAZING to say the least. From the moment I walked through the door I felt at home. I received a warm welcome and a fabulous room with all of the amenities. My room (suite) was spacious, clean and so comfortable. The hotel is centrally located so it makes getting around effortless. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Chicago and The River Hotel is my go to spot to stay."

"Everything was good but I hoped that the TV was a smart TV so guests could watch Netflix or other streaming apps"

"I recently stayed at your hotel on 5/2/26 for a one-night trip to Chicago to attend an event. While I found the facility to be very clean and well-maintained, I am writing to express my frustration regarding an unexpected upcharge for fitness amenities. I was shocked to find a mandatory fee added to my bill for the fitness area, which I was not made aware of prior to booking. Had I known about this charge, I would have chosen a different hotel. As a guest in town for a specific event, I had no time to use these additional amenities and was only at the hotel to rest. Because the fitness area uses card entry, it would be simple to enable access only for guests who opt-in to the service, rather than forcing a charge on every guest. As it stands, I do not believe in paying for amenities I did not use, especially without prior notice. Due to this policy, I felt compelled to leave a low rating. I would only consider staying here again if this added charge was made optional rather than a requirement of the stay. I hope you take this feedback into consideration to improve the experience for future guests. I hope you share this review with the hotel, itself, as I found this a cause for me to lower my opinion of the facility. Not everyone stay at a hotel just for the amenities; especially in Chicago."
