From the moment of our check-in the staff at Royal Sonesta’s River North location made us feel welcomed. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the location is convenient to everything you want to see in Chicago. We were walking distance from the River and Millennium Park, etc. I especially want to thank Gabby and Spiro for their hospitality when I checked in. Great hotel!

A great hotel within walking of so many things! Subway to White Sox stadium was across the street! River and all it had to offer was just a few blocks including Michigan Ave. we never took an Uber, could just walk and wonderful stores so close! Hotel was very nice, clean, comfortable and good vibes…….and we used the restaurant several times. Breakfast buffet was pricey, but food was hot and delicious. Would stay here again!

The price was reasonable and the staff super friendly. Like most Chicago hotels, parking is very expensive, which is why the hotel being steps away from the Red Line (subway) was a bonus. On the other hand, no in room coffee was a bummer.

I am so glad that I chose The Royal Sonesta River North for my first trip to Chicago. The location was perfect. I was easily able to navigate the city from the location. Transportation was never a concern. The hotel is lovely and the staff equally terrific. I was madecto feel welcome,
