We love staying here. Everyone is so friendly, the location is the best and the views are stunning. Rooms are always good size and clean. Stayed a couple of times and never had an issue.
I have absolutely no complaints my stay at the royal sonesta was nothing short of amazing. Lovely clean rooms and that river view was the highlight of my room.
One of the better hotels I've stayed in! Location was perfect, within walking distance of Millennium Park, the river, lots of eateries and shopping centers. Staff was friendly as well as very attentive to any guest from the second I arrived at the property to the second I left.
Hotel was super clean, had an amazing room which was huge with a view of the river for st Patrick’s day can’t recommend it enough. Staff was super helpful and friendly
Clean nice rooms and kind staff. Wish they had more than just cable on the TV, and the included WiFi did not work for me- had to use cellular data. Stunning views and good food from the restaurant downstairs!
Perfect view of the river!! Spacious and clean room, staff was very friendly, just wish there was more lighting in the room. Overall, would definitely stay again!!
Excellent room with amazing views. Really friendly and helpful staff. Josh at reception was extremely good to us! Excellent location centre of everything. Would definitely recommend this hotel
Our room was very nice and clean. Staff gave us a better view for my girlfriend’s birthday. The only thing that messed up the trip is they misplaced my girlfriend’s temporary ID and never found it.
Clean room and the views from the river view were beautiful. There is a destination fee plus no parking:only valet. Wish we knew this ahead of time to plan ahead. Beautiful hotel though. Clean beds and bathrooms
