The River Hotel was very conveniently located to everything downtown. The price was lower than many surrounding hotels. The staff was friendly, it was clean, overall a great experience. My only complaint, there is one ice machine in the hotel, on the 9th floor, along with vending. Just inconvenient to have to go upstairs to get ice or sodas. Also,... More

Friendly, welcoming reception staff. Location right on the river, perfect for visitors to the city. Tour buses stop opposite the hotel & only a short walk to parks & main shopping area. Spacious room with fabulous river view.

Rooms are small, but that's the model for this hotel chain. Well laid out for the space. Quiet, I didn't need earplugs to get a good night's sleep. Located near many nice bars and restaurants, not too far from the subway system. Service was very good, good front desk training. Connected to a restaurant with a decent selection and I... More

Great service, fast check-in and helpful friendly staff. Location was perfect for Theatre and shopping. Self park next door was $28, the cheapest in the neighborhood. The room was as pictured, very clean and comfortable. The only problem was my navigation system had to search for Club Quarters, not The River Hotel. Then it kept saying "your destination is on...

My husband and I enjoyed our 4 day stay in Chicago much as a result of the River Hotel (aka Club Quarters, aka 75). We walked to locations of business and touring for 3 days, only once needing a taxi to a museum. The king bed room was large "enough" we didn't stay in the room much. The furnishing were... More

Just back from a quick trip to Chicago. We booked the 2 bedroom at the River Hotel. Wow. We loved it! I honestly don't think I will go anywhere else when staying in Chicago. The location was perfect and in walking distance to everything. The 2 bedroom was large enough for the 6 of us. The room was very clean... More

Espresso machine in the second floor lounge got me through a cold and damp Chicago spring business trip. Was also in Chicago for a conference and River Hotel was a nice, more affordable and handy boutique alternative to larger corporate hotels on Wacker Drive. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and I'm guessing lovely linens were pure cotton, because polyester... More

Located on Wacker Drive near the corner of Michigan Avenue, the River Hotel is very convenient to the Magnificent Mile heading north, State Street Shopping heading south, as well as the Art Institute and the Museum Campus on South Michigan Avenue. We stayed at the River Hotel, two nights, April 3rd and 4th, the final two nights of a week... More

I am just finishing up a stay at the River Hotel for a conference. This was not one of the conference hotels, but it was a short walk to the conference, much less expensive than the conference hotels, and offered free wi-fi. (Just as an aside, the fact that all hotels don't offer free wi-fi is a mystery to me.... More

Met most of my criteria (comfortable bed, ability to control fan, good lighting and desk) but was very disappointed that the workout area was small with only one elliptical which was out of order. Plus they wouldn't give me a bathrobe (unlike the sister Club Quarters, Central Loop) even though one of the staff thought that should be no problem.... More
