Top East Side Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

8/10 Good

"Great location, mostly walking distance to the sightseeing spots"

River Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check-in was fast, the staff was nice. The room and lobby were very clean. We had a microwave mini fridge that actually worked.? We got the 24th floor and waiting for the elevator was annoying. Don't forget to tap your card before selecting floor button on the elevator. The location was great, just steps from Riverwalk entry & next to Hello Kitty Cafe Bus stops and subway station nearby. Good choice!"
