Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The room is clean. The location is great with many nice shops nearby, including the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. It’s within walking distance to Navy Pier, Willis Tower, boat ride and many other architectural marvels. The breakfast is good with some variations each day. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. "
