We liked this hotel because of its location -- walking distance to many restaurants in River North and to the Loop and Magnificent Mile. It is also 2 blocks from the Grand subway station on the red line. The rooms were nice, clean, and functional. The staff was friendly. Be aware that the rooms are small and the hotel is... more

Stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott River North for four nights over Labor Day weekend. We had a basic room on the seventh floor. Fantastic king size bed - super comfy! Great flat screen TV, fridge in the room... Overall, we were very pleased with the room. The staff was very helpful. We checked in early (12PM) without a problem.... more

Drunks. Horns. Ambulances. More ambulances. More drunks. More horns. Modified mufflers. More ambulances. Horns. 11pm, 12am, 2am, 4am, 5am. Getting a picture? It wasn't pretty. This hotel is located directly across the street from a very popular-- for DECADES popular-- jazz club. And another night club. Did I mention there's a hospital somewhere nearby? When you check in at 3pm... more

This hotel came close to being the first one I have ever rated as excellent. When compared to others in their class they are outstanding. I have stayed in more Marriots than I care to count and this Courtyard had the best customer service and personnel of any luxury resort I have ever stayed in. That's not to say they... more

I booked this through a travelzoo special. I ended up paying 149.00 (including tax) for a double queen room. The hotel is a block from Magnificent Mile - a block from 7-11 and a block from Dunkin Donuts. The location is excellent and I would stay here again for the price I paid. We were greeted quite warmly by the... more

We spent four nights at this very nice chain hotel. At no time did we wish we'd booked elsewhere... "but", you are downtown. In Chicago that means several things you might not consider. Chicago appears to be in the midst of a 'crime wave', publicized in the local news, and this results in 'all night long' emergency vehicle sirens and... more

We had a very positive experience here. The room was very clean. We realized it even had a refrigerator (hidden), which was nice for our drinks. T Customer service was outstanding. Peter, the bellman, was extremely friendly and helpful in recommending and helping us locate restaurants (we loved Portillo's, cheap and good). We could walk to most of the main... more

Stayed here for three nights. We were given a handicap room so everything in the room was alittle different than a regular room. We didn't have any sink space which was sorta of a pain. We had a roll in shower which would have been great for someone in a wheel chair. The bed was very comfortable though. The staff... more

We stay at this hotel several times a year, and really love the location. It is within walking distance of: the magnificent mile shopping, just across the river to the theater district, sears tower, and the art museum and the park. It is also convenient to the red line train which we take out to popular spots such as the... more
