The Sonesta is one of my favorite stays in Chicago. It’s updated; the rooms are big and it is in a great spot for work and between the park and the river. When the rates are good it is my go to.

Location was great on the riverwalk. Staff was so friendly and helpful from doorman to maid service. Would highly recommend the hotel.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Royal Sonesta. The location is perfect and the views from our room were breathtaking. The staff was absolutely AMAZING!! Kass checked us in, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience while visiting this beautiful city. She was absolutely WONDERFUL! I loved it so much, I've already booked another trip in the future.

Not what I paid for

The hotel was nice but not what I paid for I thought I was getting a renovated room but it was not that and for the amount of money I paid I was a little disappointed when the pictures were not what I actually got

The hotel was really nice but the shower was really small and valet parking was $200 for the two nights that I stayed there which is actually very pricey for me. However, considering the area, I imagine that is normal pricing.
