This hotel is the best value in the area. The rates were cheap and the room was clean. Close to everything - walking distance to good eats, shopping along Michigan Ave., blues bars, train station. Long walk or short cab ride to theaters and other popular Chicago attractions. The room (king bed) was small (ok by us as we weren't... more

Room was large and as clean as could be expected for how old the hotel is. Staff was very friendly. Bathroom needs a fan. more

This was the second stay for us recently and both times we were very happy. The room was very large and the staff helpful and pleasant. The free parking and breakfast coupled with the location make this a great choice in Chicago. We easily walked to the shopping and theatre. more

Certainly an older property, but well maintained. No charge on site parking. My room over the parking entry area was fine, but it was tough getting enough hot water on a couple of 19-deg (F) mornings. Hotel now includes a continental breakfast -- cook to order available at menu prices. Excellent location. 6 blocks west of Michigan Ave. Rainforest Cafe... more

This was a family weekend in the big city to visit the museums and my nephew who is there. The hotel is getting old, but clean paint in the hallways, nice room furnishing, huge TV, wifi, clean room with a nice comfortable bed and unit controlled heat all made for a comfortable. We had two rooms. One with a King... more

We had a three night get-away at this hotel. Rooms were somewhat small, but clean. The black and white tile in the bathroom was dated but clean. Rooms were clean and serviced daily. The pool was closed for maintenance, but this was not a major problem for us as we hadn't planned on using it anyway. The location was convenient,... more

My boyfriend and I wanted to get away over the holidays and Chicago has always been a city we wanted to visit. We made it a road trip and it took us a little over 8 hours to drive there from Toronto! We stayed at the Best Western River North Hotel from Dec 29 - Jan 2. It is definetly... more

We selected the Best Western River North in Chicago due to the location to a nursing home we went to see family at. We also were glad that they did not charge extra to park. From the time we pulled into the valet structure to leaving we had a good experience. My husband had knee surgery in Nov. so he... more

At $293 a night this is one of the worst hotels I have experienced. I booked a non-smoking, quiet room in July, but upon arrival in November was sent to a smoking room. When I complained, I was given a room overlooking a busy city street. My third move got me into the room I had requested. Unfortunately, access to... more
