    A Modern Urban Escape with Top-Notch Service

    Had an amazing stay in a stylish room with stunning city views. The staff was incredibly attentive, especially during our late checkout. Don't miss the nearby cute café for brunch and grab a drink at the lively bar downstairs. Perfect for exploring downtown!

    great location but noisy at night

    The room design was impressive, with a modern touch that made my stay enjoyable. I particularly liked the large flat-screen TV and the high-speed Wi-Fi, which facilitated my work needs. The city view from the room added a vibrant backdrop to my experience, making it even more memorable.

    The noise from the surrounding area was somewhat disruptive at night.

    friendly service

    Strongly recommend for solo travelers looking for a cozy spot

    Had a cozy king room, perfect after tackling some. heavy business. And I can't forget the Beatrix restaurant downstairs—ordered the ginger sangria, it was a game changer.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but you know, some things are worth the price.

    Convenient location, but not without hassles

    Had plans to stay here for a weekend getaway, but it turned chaotic. After driving 5 hours, we found the street blocked, leading to a frustrating 30-minute search for parking. Proximity to great restaurants and a lively bar scene was a plus, though.

    old mattress
    minor hiccups

    The location was perfect for exploring Chicago. everything from Navy Pier to restaurants is within walking distance. My traditional king room was well-designed, but I noticed some issues like an old mattress that felt too soft for my preference. Overall, despite minor hiccups, I appreciated the modern vibe and the comfortable atmosphere for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing.

    corner city view
    bright spacious room

    Loved the modern vibe and the great corner city view from our room. It was bright and spacious, making it a perfect spot to wind down. The coffee bar was a gem, especially after a long day out. Plus, having a restaurant nearby with happy hour specials was a major win!

    Felt so welcome, no reason to complain.

    corner city view
    friendly staff
    elevator maintenance
    housekeeping issues

    I really liked the vibe at the Aloft River North. The location near restaurants like Beatrix made dining easy and convenient. The room I stayed in was clean and had a great corner city view. It was bright and spacious, perfect for winding down after a long day. The coffee bar was a nice touch too. However, the elevator situation was frustrating. Only one was operational during my stay, which slowed things down at busy times. Valet parking confused me initially. I had to figure out where to park since there wasn’t a clear area for guests. Getting my vehicle back from valet was a hassle. I felt like I had to beg for my key back at one point. Also, I didn't receive housekeeping service during my stay, which added to the inconvenience. Despite these issues, the overall atmosphere and the staff's friendliness made it enjoyable.
