The hotel staff was very friendly and exceptionally helpful. They gave us plenty of ideas about where to go visit, and where to go eat. Edgar made sure we were ok every time he saw us leaving out. Parking was very pricey for the hotel but hey, I guess that’s Chicago. Our one year Anniversary was a success from the hospitality, and he touring if Chicago

Shauna is an AMAZING housekeeper! She was so attentive to our needs and brought us requested items in a timely fashion. The front desk staff workers were extremely friendly and helpful as well! I’m appreciative that the Royal Sonesta has such incredible employees 💕

I had an amazing experience with Shaunda and Kate! They were so sweet during a difficult situation and helped me print up something. They made my stay so stress free by doing that! They really are the sweetest and I will definitely be staying here again because of them!
