The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"I had a wonderful stay at The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown. The location is one of the biggest highlights—right in the heart of downtown with easy access to the Riverwalk, restaurants, shopping, attractions, and public transportation. It made getting around Chicago incredibly convenient. The hotel itself felt clean, modern, comfortable, and well maintained. My room was spacious, quiet, and relaxing, with a very comfortable bed and everything I needed for an enjoyable stay. I also appreciated the overall atmosphere of the property; it feels polished and upscale without being overly formal. The staff was friendly, professional, and helpful throughout my stay. Every interaction was pleasant, and the service helped make the experience feel smooth from beginning to end. Overall, this was an excellent stay and a great choice for anyone wanting to be centrally located in Chicago. Between the comfortable room, convenient location, cleanliness, and welcoming service, I would absolutely recommend The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown and would happily stay here again."

"I love IHG, as this is my second location outside of Australia. We did walk in to a funny smelling room, and the toilet didn’t seem to be wiped properly. We brang this matter to the front desk attention and we were given free breakfast and the matter handled immediately! Great location! Comfy beds and friendly staff! Will always recommend!"

"Our room was beautiful Lynn appointed, just large enough for two people who like each other. No extras: just the bed, a desk, and locked dresser in the bedroom, and a tub/shower and sink/vanity in the bath..just roomy enough for a couple; excessively cosy if you aren’t."
