Urban sophistication in River North

Guests at Courtyard by Marriot in Chicago's River North enjoy an ideal location a few blocks from the Magnificent Mile. Walk to Macy's, Nordstrom, Tiffany & Co. and other well-known stores, or taxi to Navy Pier, Millennium Park and Grant Park. The hotel's appeal exceeds shopping and sightseeing, however. Guests need not stray far for some of the best bars and restaurants in Chicago. The Marriott name promises contemporary rooms, business and fitness centers and daily necessities: coffee at Starbucks and lunch at State Street Bread Company.

Highlights
  • Located a few blocks from the Magnificent Mile in River North, a trendy nightlife and dining destination
  • Free Wi-Fi in all 335 rooms
  • Starbucks and State Street Bread Company onsite
  • Indoor lap pool and fitness center
Rooms

The guest rooms and suites at Courtyard by Marriot could pass for downtown Chicago condos with their sleek furnishings, wood headboards and black and white photos of the skyline. Spacious baths and granite vanities further the upscale feel, while an ergonomic chair and wide desk provides comfort for bringing work projects back to the hotel room. Wi-Fi Internet access is complimentary. The hotel also touts larger rooms than the competition.

Features

In addition to free Wi-Fi access in all rooms, guests can also take advantage of a 24-hour business center to print documents or quickly access the Internet free of charge. Once those tasks are satisfied, head to the hotel's onsite Starbucks for a quick coffee, or to State Street Bread Company for breakfast or lunch. The indoor pool and fitness center are open to all guests.

Great hotel, great location.

The hotel is in a great location for seeing all the local sites. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Broad of get eat bars and restaurants around the hotel. The breakfast that is provided by the hotel was the basics in the foyer and we thought it was a weird location to hold it. The food was good for what we needed for a quick meal before getting out and about. We found the bed wasn't the most comfortable and had trouble sleeping , but that could have just been the room we had. What suggest this hotel to friends and I would stay here again. Felt safe around the neighborhood, and we had a ball in Chicago. Tips; We went to the jazz bar across from the hotel and we are disappointed. There is an entry fee of $15 (hotel guests can get $5 off per person see the hotel for a card) and the band didn't play much they spent more time on a break). The bar next to hotel is great. We went when karaoke was on and had a ball.

The location was great and the staff was awesome. It had a smaller lap pool which was great and an awesome fitness facility. The location was close to bars and restaurants. We loved it and would surely go back.

Determine the bars which are open later and get to them before 1:30 otherwise the lines get very long to get in them once the other bars are closed.

Loved the shopping too! Get to the museums early before they open. We went on our spring break and the biggest line was for the SHEDD Aquarium. Definitely buy tickets on line AHEAD OF TIME.

Comfy Cozy - A little noisy

The hotel staff was great! From the minute our taxi cab pulled up and helped us out to the minute we checked out. The experience was great! The hotel room bed was the most comfortable bed I think I've EVER slept in. The street noise was a bit loud and not very muffled by windows or walls.

Wonderful staff!

We were in town for a family get-together, and the desk clerks, doormen, and bartender were beyond helpful - warm, friendly, and happy to be there. When we asked for dinner recommendations, for example, the desk clrak didn't just offer a few close options, he asked us what we liked, and found us a reservation 2 blocks away at a great place that could seat us immediately. (Rosebud Trattoria also gets a great review.) The pool, hot tub, sauna and exercise room were also welcome amenities before and after long days.

Undergoing renovations

Very comfortable bed, poor lighting in suite's living area. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Hotel restaurant/room service options very limited, unappealing. Great restaurants in the neighborhood. Extremely loud music from outdoor concert arena on Friday night.
