The room was very nice, clean & spacious, the lobby was very clean, set up nicely & warm during an extremely cold weekend, very accommodating even brought us up a microwave upon request. Will definitely be staying here again when we return to Chicago!
We always stay at this hotel when we come to Chicago at least once or twice per year. The location is perfect, it’s clean, the rooms have everything we need, and staff are always friendly!
Royal Sonesta’s location can’t be beat. With its proximity to shopping, restaurants and Millennium Park you can’t ask for a better stay. Clean rooms and comfortable beds with great river views. Would stay again!
I had a great stay at this hotel. It was centrally located around so many things, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the room was exceptionally clean. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again! The breakfast food at their restaurant was amazing as well!
