10/10 Excellent
"This was my first stay at a Hotel Riu and I was thoroughly impressed! It reminded me of the hotels in Southeast Asia I have visited - attentive staff, very clean facilities, attention to details, and the best breakfast buffet I have probably ever had at a US hotel that is included in the hotel room rate. The bonus to all of this being that it was literally steps from the Magnificent Mile and had easy access to Express bus lines and the MTA. Would definitely stay here again!"

"We took a quick family trip. The location was amazing. So many walkable things to see. It’s not very updated but it’s clean and safe. The free breakfast was a plus but it was very busy. It did have extended hours from 6a-10a. We were in floor 38 of 40. The views of the city were amazing but wait times for the elevator were inconvenient. Valet parking was great and allowed us r"

10/10 Excellent
"What a great find in downtown Chicago! This will definitely be among my go-to places to stay whenever work travel takes me back. Very convenient downtown location close to Magnificent Mile, easily walkable area, a very helpful, welcoming, courteous, and friendly staff (including front desk, breakfast, housekeeping, and every other team member I met), extremely spacious room that was clean, smartly organized, and well laid out, with good water pressure in the shower. The in-room amenities were great and included everything I needed. The breakfast was also good, and included both hot and cold options like eggs, sausage, bagels, muffins, yogurt, juice, and fresh fruit. I did not need a rental car on this trip so can't speak to the parking. But I would definitely recommend this Sonesta to others. I especially appreciated the slightly early check-in and good WiFi connectivity! Thank you for an excellent Chicago stay!"
