8/10 Very Good

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was clean, and up to date. My room was kind of situated in a duck off location, which was private and quiet. The only thing that kind of made me feel uneasy was that there were no cameras in the hallway leading to my room. But overall everything went smooth. Valet was prompt. I also liked the hydration station they had on each floor, where you could get a water bottle and fill it up. I would stay again.

2/10 Poor

Terrible service, beware!
Did you know this hotel does not provide daily housekeeping service unless requested? This is not laid out when booking and not even when checking in. Room was booked for 4, towels and bedding provided only for 2. Request for more bedding was not met until night 3. When calling with these requests, front desk just hung up the phone mid-call. Hotel very basic and service terrible. Completely overpriced for what it is. Would stay at any other hotel before returning here.

Perfect Location
Perfect hotel with two rooms and two bathrooms. Loved the bottled water available on each floor and the complimentary esspresso bar. Perfect location on the river and close to everything.

The only place we will stay
The location of the hotel could not be more perfect, and so is the price but the real reason we stay here is the people. Literally ALL the people we encountered at the River Hotel have been incredible. Given the expected turnover in staff in two years, we were thrilled to see the same gentleman behind the counter. The other two staffers were genuine, honest and extremely helpful. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay near the Loop. (One unexpected bonus - if you can spot the Trump building you know where your hotel is - right across the street. )

Family stay for Holiday light parade
Amazing! I will return again while staying in the City. Very convenient, in the middle of everything we needed. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The room was great although a little oldish but very clean. This is a very good hotel

Loved everything about our stay. Excellent staff and room was just what we needed. The only hiccup was that the bed felt old lumpy. A little too firm for me. I would stay again without a doubt.
