The Godfrey Hotel Chicago

8/10 Good

"Parking is the only issue with the locations. Options are limited with no in/out usability unless you valet park."

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at River Hotel was great, as soon as we arrived my wife and I were greeted by Pedro. He was super helpful with our check-in and the whole process was just quick and easy. Nice room with plenty of space; however, the furniture can use a little of love. They seemed to be very outdated so a renovation would be helpful. The location is just amazing, we had everything close by, river walk, Michigan st, shopping mall, restaurants and more. Overall, I would be more than happy to stay there again."

Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago

8/10 Good

"Overall my stay was pretty good. The only two issues were my mini fridge wasn’t working and I lost my leftovers that sat in there for the two days I stayed. Secondly, I had a staff member tell me about a special tour and promotion, only to tell me somehow I was not eligible. Then he had me bring my son down to see if he could be eligible. He was only 18,not 21. So he was not. That was not very pleasant considering it was basically pulled back for some reason . I visit 3-4 times a year. I either stay at the Westin River north or the Royal Sonesta River North. The lost food was no biggie but being given a whole rundown about how the hotel was trying to build a new customer base and then being told I wasn’t eligible was crappy. I can’t lie. Everything else was pretty good. The happy hours were cool. Staff outside of that was generally ok."
