We stayed at best western for a day before taking a flight from O'hare. we checked in late and just wanted to get a good night's sleep, squeeze in a little bit of looking around the city and shopping before we caught the flight. The front office staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough. The location of this place... more

The Best Western River North continues to be the best kept secret in Chicago. They are in a great location on E. Ohio St, right across from the McDonalds and the Rainforest Cafe. It is about a 5-6 block walk to Michigan Avenue and the shops. Parking is free!!! Just stayed there this past weekend and our breakfast for four... more

Very conveniently located hotel with large rooms. The free parking is also great. There's a free breakfast with a fixed menu at the cafeteria (you can choose among pancakes, french toasts, sausages, etc) that is very complete. My room was recently renovated so I quite liked it. more

The rooms itself are not especially great, but they are clean and serve the purpose. However, the location (short walk to transportation/attractions), friendly staff, and free parking make up for it. I would stay here again. more

We chose the Best Western River North in Chicago because of free parking (only one downtown). While the rooms are just okay, the staff was incredibly hospitable. Late at night, parking attendant let me park in employee space and, in morning, interruped his breakfast to unblock my care. Desk personnel eager to help including letting me come into office to... more

We stayed here July 1st-4th. We had booked on-line and got the AARP rates. First time my husband used this. I told him it pays to be 50! This saved $15.00 per night. Not a lot but paid for our cab fares. We checked in with no problems. Staff was friendly. Our room was on the 5th floor. The room... more

I have stayed in this hotel a number of times while visiting Chicago. My main driving factors have been: 1) Price: it's typically $50-100 less expensive than anything else respectable in the area. Besides, the only time I spend in the room is sleeping and showering. You also have free parking (up to $30+/night in some hotels) and free Internet... more

I booked my room online. Two double beds. When I got there, the room had ONE bed. When I went down to the front desk the girl behind the counter very extremely rude and said that it was what I asked for! I finally got thru to them that I wanted another room. I was travelling with my teenage son.... more

Love this hotel. It is old, some of the rooms are small. But it is reasonably priced, FREE parking, and within walking distance / bus to almost anything in Chicago. When I come to Chicago with my son, I come here. more
