I travel a lot and typically spend 30 days a year in Chicago. The Westin Chicago River North is an excellent choice - the rooms are comfy, its close to a ton of great restraunts and its easy to walking distance to the lake and businesses. I'll also mention that Sam Guiragossian, who runs the Workout Club, is a great... More

Usually we stay up around Water Tower but this part of Chicago has really come into its own with shops and restaurants. And it's not difficult to walk north on Michigan Ave to go to Water Tower etc. The hotel was very nice and the women at the concierge desk was very helpful and patient as was all of the... More

This was an excellent two night stay. Their staff was intent on pleasing. The workout club is staffed by Sam who is not only personable but keeps the place immaculate. The equipment is brand new and I would rather go there than my home gym which is a comparative mess (LA fitness just bought my Bally's). My business was in... More

I prefer staying at Westin hotels when I travel since they offer the most comfortable beds of any hotel chain. Westin's offer consistent high quality service and accommodations. One of the nicest features of this particular Westin is the location and the gym. The gym is not huge, but very clean, well organized, and offers training services by Sam -... More

We stayed here in January, 2012 and loved the location and comfort of the hotel. The hotel is located directly across the street from the House of Blues and Bin 36. There is a shuttle to and from the convention center which runs every 20 minutes. The bus stop is just down the road. There are plenty of shops and... More

This hotel is a typical Westin but the people that work there are super friendly and elevate your stay a level. The rooms are nicely furnished and clean and the price was reasonable. I stayed on one of the club levels and definitely recommend it. The rooms are a little nicer, you get free wi-fi, and you don't have to... More

This was my second time staying at this hotel for a conference. Overall, I was impressed again by the friendly, professional and courteous hotel staff. My room was clean and well-stocked with usual amenities. I enjoyed the use of the gym and the hotel bar/restaurant. There are a lot of restaurants and shopping areas close by, and the staff was...

Good hotel with a central location and all the things you expect from a Westin. The upsides: - excellent room service menu - very friendly staff - nice Club Lounge with decent breakfast options (cereals, fruits, breads, bagels, eggs, etc) - rooms are quiet, and many have nice views of the river The downsides: - always full of Platinums, so...

As someone who is on the road every week of the year for projects that range a few weeks to a few months, there is an inner wish to find a hotel that is comfortable and consistent. The Westin River North meets that desire, but more importantly, it surpasses it by leaps and bounds. The staff is friendly, courteous, and... More
