My boyfriend and I stayed at Aloft River North from December 23-31st - We booked two separate reservations and decided to stay longer. Concierge is very professional, friendly, accommodating and provides great recommendations during our visit in Chicago. We were booked the City View room which had a beautiful scenery during night time. 3rd party restaurant, Beatrix, available on the main floor of the restaurant which is very convenient. Sitting areas, pool table, etc also available on the main floor for hangouts and/or work on your laptop.

Modern accommodations located in walking distance to the river and lots of dining & shopping options. Can be a little noise given the proximity to a firehouse closeby. The gym receives 5 stars on a 4 star scale. Our stay was very enjoyable.
