"This hotel is right on the river with convenient walking access to nice restaurants and shopping. It is a short car ride ( Lyft or Uber) to the mag mile.
The doorman greated us and sent us to the second floor to check in. We had a wonderful room with a view of the river. The workout room was very nice and clean ( located on the 4th floor spa area).
Everyone was nice and friendly and the service was great!! I would definitely come back again."
"Excellent customer service, clean and loved to stay there. The hotel is attached to a rstaurant that it is also welcoming and auper clean. Will definitely stay there next time. Very happy with the hotel."

"Property was centrally located, close to the red line. Breakfast offered a variety of options. A small service request was promptly attended to. We were able to leave our bags at the hotel on either end of our stay (we arrived very early on one day, and left late on another). No complaints!

"We had outstanding desk help in the form of Kenya and Jose. Always ready to offer suggestions for dining, or sights not to be missed; always with a laugh or a joke.
The location was not quiet. Just half a block from a fire department. Lots of sirens. It isn't the Hyatt of the 70's or 80's but it was pleasant. Wasn't impressed with the service in their restaurant, Ema, but there are tons of great eating places within walking distance."

A verified traveler stayed at Aloft Chicago Downtown River North
"Upon entering the hotel, the staff was friendly and courteous. It smelled like they had just got done cleaning the place.
I stayed in an all-girls 4-bed dorm on the 4th floor. The room met the description. Overall, it was in good shape. Maybe a little chipped paint on the ceiling but I am not in Chicago to stare at the walls and ceiling all day.
The bedding and towels did not have any stains, and were obviously freshly laundered. There was room under the bunk for me to store my carry-on sized suitcase. Those with checked-bag sized suitcases might have some trouble finding an out of the way place to store their luggage.
The mattress is medium in firmness and more than comfortable. Curtains around the bed were clean and I felt I had enough privacy. The room, bed, and bathroom/shower were clean. It was comparable to some other 3-4 star hotels I have stayed in before.
The place overall was quiet. I couldn't hear anything from any neighbouring rooms or the lounge. The area itself is absolutely fantastic. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe getting to and from my hotel at night. The area is very busy with tourists and very well lit. Are there homeless people around? Yes, a few. Did I feel threatened? Not at all.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone who wants to stay in downtown Chicago on a budget. I would definitely consider staying here again. "
