Reviews for The Royal Sonesta Chicago River North

Fantastic experience!! 😁👍

Reviewed 1 day ago

My wife and I stayed three nights during the last weekend of October 2025, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. I misplaced the card to do the review, and I just found it, so I’m doing it now. Everyone was so wonderful from Ty and Gabby at the front desk, answering questions and helping us. To Spiro when greeting us at the door, and giving me tips on restaurant ideas around town. Then there was Tee the bartender. She was amazing and super friendly. We chatted about Music and the band that we were in town to see. Then I met a person named Shaunda, who was extremely helpful and kind. She was even willing to take my picture with the city in the backdrop on the terrace. That was awesome!! 😁 We were so pleased with our stay in October, that we decided to book three more nights on the first weekend of March to come back. Thanks for everything and we look forward to seeing you guys again.

My wife and I enjoyed bringing in the New Year there and Dean was excellent. The front desk handled everything well also.

Friendly staff all around. Property was clean, room and bed was comfy. Weather outside was VERY cold, but the room was nice and warm.
