Our Hotel Planner Expert Reviews of Best Western River North Hotel
Our expert hotel planners periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person.
"Great Location at a Great Price!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The Best Western is located downtown in the heart of the River North neighborhood, within walking distance to the hottest restaurants, bars and nightlife that Chicago offers! I noticed right away that all of their rooms smell extremely fresh as soon as you walk in the room and all of the furniture and carpeting is modern and updated. They have a nice, clean indoor pool, a fitness center and a rooftop sundeck that is perfect for relaxing in the summer! They include complimentary wifi. They also have an Restaurant and Lounge! The sales manager Veronica Casales is very professional, friendly and accommodating! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone!

Testimonials:
"Our group has done this weekend away for 10+ years always in the Napa/Sonoma area in the Spring. For the past 3 years we have stayed at the same location in Sonoma. This year I used your site to try to find a different and more reasonably priced location. Not only did I find a fantastic hotel in a great new location, I save $100 per night over last year's room fee." J.F. - San Francisco, CA
