I had a really great experience here. They were very accommodating and gave us a junior spa suite that had great views, comfortable beds, and a jacuzzi tub. The jacuzzi tub would not drain after we used it the first time, and they were able to have it fixed in less than 2 hours!! I also liked that they provided robes, toiletries, and waters. The lighting in the room was adjustable which I love since I hate bright lights! The beds are comfortable and the blackout curtains make it easy to sleep well. Gabby at the front desk was so sweet and helpful. The doormen are great as well- shout out to Antwonne! The hotel is a good location surrounded by restaurants and things to do. I would suggest checking out the surrounding restaurants over the restaurant at the hotel.

The moment my wife and I drove into the Valet area we were greeted and welcomed to The Royal Sonnesta by Spiro (Doorman). Right away he assisted with opening the doors and helping with luggage. He brought us a dolly cart and started loading it up for us. We immediately felt like Royalty before we stepped foot in the door. Throughout our 2 night stay he was there 24/7 to make sure we had what we needed including, Small talk, as well as expediting our Valet Service. His hard work and hospitality made our stay very comfortable and made up for the Pool not being there. All Jokes aside.. 10/10 customer service from him. And if I need to stay in that area again... I will be looking for The Royal Sonesta (River North) and Spiro

Nice, clean room that was very quiet at night, for a rather noisy area. The location is amazing. However the pool is closed. It looks small whenever it will be approved by the city again. The weight room is large, though the dumbbells are lacking at higher weights. Roof deck is a cool, albeit it starts to feel small if 6+ out. Would be really cool to have a larger space with a bar. Missed the pool. Would have liked a sauna at least. Parking is insanely expensive, but easy to walk to from the El or bus.

Edit: 8/20/2025 - I removed one star for a mysterious valet charge that the hotel added to my bill. We did not have a car during our stay, we walked everywhere. I called and they promptly refunded me, and gave me a "this happens once in awhile, sorry for the trouble" response. We had a good experience. Room was elegant and the beds comfortable. Bathroom door, a slider, was very difficult to open and close. Overall, the room was clean. However, near the windows, the baseboard molding, had a thick layer of dust. Indicating the room was not completely cleaned. A plus for us was we could use the stairs. I am not an elevator person. We had a fifth floor room. Staff was very nice.
