    Its service was great. Great-sized and recently renovated room, it included a living area, a storage space, and sound-proofed windows. The staff was all efficient and extremely friendly. The location was good, right next to the Riverwalk, convenient to go everywhere.

    The room was spacious, and we had a nice view of the river. The location was stunning, about 20-minute walk into town.

    Id give it more than 4 stars, everything was very comfortable. The location for Chicago was perfect, close to all the shopping and restaurants in the area, and all the major sights of Chicago. It also was to the baseball on time thanks to her help. Had supper in a lobby restaurant.

    I selected this hotel for a conference due to its impressive 16,000 square feet of fully renovated, state-of-the-art meeting spaces with inspiring views of the city and river. The support team was able to customize the meeting spaces to our exact needs, providing a distinct and memorable local flavor to our event.

    The one service I missed for my work was a business center with dedicated staff to assist with any last-minute printing or administrative needs.

    Excellent friendly staff who removed the extra day from our reservation. Well-appointed room with an exceptional view of downtown. - Comfy bed and large bathroom. - Incredible and wonderful location with easy access to shopping centers and a bakery. - Outstanding food in the attached restaurant.

    The hotel boasts central location to the river as described. The units were well-appointed and recently refurbished with a view for my daughter's birthday.

    The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown was a pleasant accommodation for my business trip. The fitness center was top-notch, with the latest cardio training and strength training equipment, including a Peloton bike, ensuring I could maintain my workout routine. The hotel also offers a beautiful view of the city, contributing to a delightful stay. The staff was helpful and attentive, making my experience even more enjoyable.

    They immediately tried to upsell for a better view, which then becomes disappointing when you see what you paid for.

    Very impressed with family junior suite. Family atmosphere. Amazing and ideal location as only 5 minutes to London Guarantee Building. Set in a great area close to many major attractions, the river and subway.
