Best Western River North Hotel - Chicago, USA 

Stayed four nights in July with husband, one preteen and one teen. We were upgraded to a suite upon arrival. Room was large, clean and well decorated. The room had one king bed and one sofabed. The King was very comfortable. Didn't sleep on the pullout sofabed, but didn't hear any complaints from the kids. Hotel lobby, hallways, and pool area were clean, well lit, and modern. No noise from nearby rooms. Sundeck off the pool area was an extra bonus with a great view. Staff members were attentive and very FRIENDLY!! Room was impeccably cleaned each day. Great location and free parking were also bonuses. Only negatives were the water temperature and pressure. The temp. would change many times from very cold to hot and pressure would drop as well. All four of us experienced this so beware when taking a shower. This is one the best hotels I've stayed in for a family on a budget. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Chicago. Thank you, River North Best Western, for an enjoyable stay.

We stayed here for four nights in March 2008. We chose this hotel because of reasonable rates, location and free parking. We weren't disappointed with any of those aspects. There were a few things we didn't like. The TV was on a dresser on the side of the bed instead of the foot of the bed which made it a little harder to lay on the bed and watch TV. Also the heater was noisy - made a lot of popping and crackling noise when it was on. After the first night, we would just heat up the room right before we went to bed and then turned it off. The restaurant at the hotel was nice and there's a lot of restaurants within walking distance. For lunch on our last day we ordered deep-dish pizza from our room and then went down to the restaurant to eat it. I would give this hotel another try.
