"A Good Place to Stay in River North"

8.0

This is a very comfortable business-type hotel in the convenient River North district. (When we were there, it seemed there were a lot of conventioneers.) The room was comfortable enough, despite a few drawbacks (see below). The staff was uniformly very friendly and helpful, and that made our visit a real plus.

We were surprised that a hotel of this level did not provide in-room coffee/tea service. Schlepping down to the lobby to get a cup of morning coffee is a drag. Also, the facilities in the bathroom left a bit to be desired (insufficient towel racks, no face soap provided).
