    River North is a great location in DT Chicago. Walking distance to the River, restaurants, LEVAIN BAKERY and the L. (In fact, Levain satisfied my sweet tooth so much I skipped my much-anticipated visit to Garrett Popcorn). Free hot breakfast - I prefer hotels with this amenity to save time and money. Different hot food every day. We enjoyed spinach and cheese soufflés and ham and cheese croissants made by the fantastic Holly. Warm and friendly to all, Holly took care of us, always with a smile. VERY much appreciated their STRONG COFFEE, the oatmeal station and varied fresh fruit. The eating area is spacious and the bar next to it and lounge have cool decor. Our Double Queen suite was comfortable and roomy. My friend thought the aesthetics could have been better. Loved having a full length mirror on the armoire door and a microwave and mini refrigerator. Was concerned about street noise based on some reviews but on the 11th or 12th floor, it was quiet. The toilet/shower is separate from the sink. The flush was quiet, too. Even the 24-hour fitness room has a great view of the Marina "Corn Cob" Towers. On a minor note, the mini-mart in the lobby was closed but empty. I would have put the free bottled water in there, as they were just stacked behind the front desk. I got used to taking the elevator up to the main lobby, too. It does add an extra layer of safety with the guard on the ground level. Even though only one elevator worked one weekend day of our stay, for the price and location, I would consider staying there again.

    Everyone from the front desk to the bar tender is nice. Everyone there is extremely friendly. They honored early check-in for $25 which isn't bad at all. I was able to get a room at 11am. They have a happy hour 6-7pm. No restaurant on-site though. Very close location to many restaurants and the river walk area. Free Breakfast there is good and clean. The hot breakfast selection was fresh. Wish they had make your own waffles that would be a plus. I would come back here again. I wished they would clean the rooms everyday though. Rooms are spacious and clean and did not have any foul odors. Parking is crazy here $75 a night though. Other than that no major complaints.

    This is a nice hotel really really elegant nice great view great scenery very expensive but we stayed during the holiday. Season in downtown Chicago. It's $40 a night to park there which is expensive for me. At least there was no swimming pool so my daughters were upset about that, but the hotel itself was nice and the view was amazing

    Amazing service! Abi and all the other front desk agents were wonderful, kind and accommodating. The rooms are comfy and spotless clean! The bartenders were skilled and made us amazing smoked old fashions! Great hotel in the city!

    We really enjoyed our stay here. Love that the two types of Marriott hotels are side by side. The breakfast was included which was a pleasant surprise and it's not some continental breakfast, but a real nice spread of foods that change daily. Staff are all very friendly, from the check in counter, to the breakfast servers. Our room was comfortable. It's located in downtown and very convenient to get anywhere.

    This is a good hotel - solid four star experience. A few things: + Bar isn't open during the week for the most part. + Front desk staff (once you find the front desk by going up the elevator from lobby 1) is awesome and answered all of my questions. + The room I stayed in was huge and included a bed, couch, desk, fridge, microwave, and separate vanity bathroom situation. Layout is a little funky but the space as a solo traveller did feel super nice. + Location is top notch - walkable to all River North has to offer. I did not sample the comp breakfast but I did use the fitness facility and enjoyed the coffee machine pretty much daily. This is a great spot for your Chicago travel needs!

    This was a nice, clean, easily accessible hotel in downtown Chicago! I stayed here for three nights during the week for a work trip, along with about a dozen of my colleagues. When you enter the hotel, you don't walk right into the lobby. Instead, you take an elevator up to the lobby, and then have to hop onto a different elevator to get to your actual room. I am so on board with this for safety purposes ... but since the elevator to the rooms already required a key card, I do wonder why they didn't just have one elevator from the first floor that can take you anywhere with a key card, but doesn't require one just to get to the lobby? Anyways ... I arrived a little earlier than check-in time, and since my room wasn't ready, I left my bags downstairs with guest services. I always appreciate this option in a hotel, so you don't have to delay any sight-seeing while waiting to check-in. When I did check in, I was given a king suite on the 14th floor. This was one of the largest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in! The bed was comfortable, everything was clean, and while there wasn't much of a view (other than a parking garage), it was fun to be on such a high floor. Throughout my stay, I ran into a little trouble with the key cards, in both the elevator and the at my room. On my last night, I ended up having to go down to the front desk and ask for help getting into my room, because I just could not get the key card to work. They sent an engineer up in less than five minutes, and of course he was able to get it right away. I so appreciate the quick response time, since I have definitely stayed in hotels where a request like this could take around 30 minutes! There's also a hotel bar in the lobby, but it wasn't open until the last night of our stay. My colleagues and I spent a bit of time here chatting, but they're only open until 11, so you kind of have to make a decision to either go to bed, or go to a different bar. Overall, I would definitely stay here again! I loved the size of the room, and how clean everything was, and how friendly and helpful all of the employees were.

    I beg everyone to please check the beds before unpacking. This is super unsanitary and unsafe. They did move me. The front desk staff were a great support through the room change. I truly could not wait to check out. I was disgusted with the reality of a well known chain hotel having beds that look like this.

    Used Spot Hero for the parking garage and saved money off the hotel rate and regular garage rate. I tried to check in on the the Bonvoy App and get a digital key but it wouldn't let me check in. So we went up to the second floor where the check in desk was and got plastic keys. Room was on the 18th Floor. Room was spacious overlooking the city. Bed was comfortable. Pillows sucked. I really hate feather pillows. TV had a Google Crome unit plugged in the back. I couldn't get it to connect to wifi. Would have been nice to watch our streaming services using my phone. The door on the closet was about to fall off. Room was clean and we had enough towels for two nights. We ate breakfast our last morning at the hotel. It was kinda sad. A step up from the bagged breakfast of a juicebox, apple, and granola bar though. We had scrambled eggs, a roll and oj. When we left we just dropped our cards in a recycle container. I did like the security. We would stay here again. It is close walking to a-lot if stuff we like.

    We were here with a volleyball tournament and this was the hotel we were assigned. I was relieved that we were at a Marriott property, at first. 1. They knew they were hosting a bunch of girls in a volleyball tournament that begins at 8:00, which means that need to be there by 7:15, but the problem is that this hotel is a good 15 minute drive/35 minute bus ride away. They should have made accommodations for breakfast for all the athletes, since it's included in the price. Due to the tournament we never got to eat the breakfast we paid for with our room cost. 2. We got into our room and it was 85 degrees. The heat couldn't be turned down. They sent an engineer who showed up within minutes. He got it cooled down, said he needed to replace a part, said it would be done when we got back. We got back at night and we had been walking outside and were cold so the warm room felt good. We didn't realize right away, when they called to check and see how our room was, that it was still really warm. I called the front desk, was put on hold, after 5 minutes I finally hung up. I turned the heat off and heat was still pouring out. Made it all clear the the front desk the next morning. Was told it would be fixed and I'd get a call from the manager. It was fixedish. Had to have the AC on the whole time, despite the outside temps being anywhere from 30-55 degrees. Never got a call from the manager. 3. Asked to have more coffee delivered to the room since there was only decaf. Never got it. 4. At 6:30 in the morning the coffee bar in the lobby was totally trashed. No cream, no sugar, tea wrappers all over. 5. I'm sitting in the lobby writing this while we wait for our train and the brown herringbone furniture as the fireplace is filthy. Not just mildly dirty. Down right disgusting. 6. Our room was nice (despite the heating issue). Beds were good. 7. The coffee in the lobby was good. 8. Front desk staff were very sweet.

    I have stayed in a variety of hotels across Chicago in the times I have visited but this was my first experience in the downtown Loop area. Location is the greatest feature of SpringHill Suites - River North: it's close to Daley Plaza (one of the reasons we chose it, to go to the Christkindlemarket), various L/metro stations, and bus stops. Plus it's downtown so there are always Lyft and Ubers driving around close by. The continental breakfast served at this SpringHill Suites was outstanding and one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had anywhere. Such a selection of hot foods (depending on the day - scrambled eggs, meats, french toast, breakfast sandwiches, hash browns), fruits, an oatmeal bar, and various coffees and juices. The breakfast bar attendants were so friendly and helpful. In fact, all the staff we encountered at this SpringHill Suites location were more than willing to go above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The rooms themselves were clean and the view from our 25th floor room was spectacular! The only negative about this SpringHill Suites is that check-in wasn't until 4 PM, later than any hotel check-in I have ever experienced. We had to wait around at least a few hours and spent the last hour in the hotel's lounge, which was comfortable and had free coffee and hot chocolate. For those who want to check-in early, you can do so for $25, but no guarantee about how much earlier this really is. You can leave your bags at the hotel for no charge if you want to go out and explore the city after you check out, which is very convenient. Overall it was a great experience at this SpringHill Suites and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

    See all
