Best place to stay
I love the River Hotel! We stay here every time we visit. The location is perfect, staff are amazing and so friendly, the rooms are always clean and perfect. Yes the rooms are on the smaller side but who cares, you’re not in them that much. They are still great. Plus the hotel is perfectly located for just about everything.

The elevator was broken. The elevator that did work was used by the cleaning crew so it was extremely slow and everyone was upset about this. Here is why this place sucks. When I was checking out I made a comment to the support staff and they let me know that it’s been broken for a very long time. The other issue is that the room wasn’t clean. The 54 a night parking was a problem as they actually park a long distance from the hotel so you better not leave something you need in it. They get it but it’s 20 plus minutes per time. When we arrived they were in shambles do to being horribly understaffed. I seriously don’t recommend this hotel. It’s only saving grace is location

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of the tourist center! The hotel and cleanliness are always impeccable. The staff is super friendly and helpful, many thanks to Ronnie and Reina who are super friendly and willing to help and provide tips about the area. The only little issue is that one of the elevators is broken, which makes the waiting time a bit long because it's often full. So, I recommend leaving with plenty of time or taking the stairs.

Room description stated Queen bed, but that wasn’t a Queen bed. I’m not a tall person 5’4” on a good day, and my feet were hanging off the end of the bed. Me and my partner couldn’t fit on the bed comfortably at all. Read twice before booking to if you want microwave or mini fridge. Only 1 elevator worked for the 30 floors of the hotel, ice machines either in basement or 9th floor, but only after a maze to get to them.

Loved location!
Great hotel by the river and MIchigan St. Location was excellent for shopping and walking to great restaurant. The hotel/rooms were clean and well upkeeped. The female worker at the reception was excellent, very helpful. My truck didn’t fit at the parking garage provided by the hotel and she gave me a lot of suggestions of where else i can park and refunded the parking we had already paid with them. Will decently come back!

We did like the property however the room was very small and the bed was way too small for us (and we are not big people). No refrigerator and one of the elevators was out so took us an average of 10-15 minutes to even get on.
