Reviews for The Royal Sonesta Chicago River North
Lovely hotel you should consider for your next trip!
I truly enjoyed my initial experience with The Royal Sonesta due to the warm and welcoming reception we received from Antwonne! He really made us feel special and we loved his energy and enthusiasm! He is such a great asset to have and he should be celebrated and rewarded for his service and dedication! Our room was nice, yet I experienced a little hiccup with the housekeeping that threatened to derail my trip yet they were quick to communicate with me and correct the matter. For this I was truly grateful.

Great location with a great staff!
Wonderful experience and location. The staff were all professional and ready to be of assistance when needed. I’d like to give a special shout-out to Antwonne, who made sure our belongings were kept safe till check-in and provided additional details, directions and a tour of some of the highlights of the hotel to ensure we had the best weekend ever. Mission accomplished! Our room was clean and very comfortable. The location is close to everything so I’d recommend if you don’t want to have to drive to see everything.
