Great neighborhood, clean hotel overall.
We booked this hotel through our entertainment book for a fantastic price (over half off what the hotel's website charges) and after staying for 3 days were very happy we chose this hotel. The staff were all very friendly & helpful, rooms were spacious enough & clean. The best part about this hotel would have to be the area, there are at least 10 restaurants within a 1 block distance. Some reviews showed concern with the noise level, but we never experienced too much of a problem. I did hear sirens one day, early in the am, but its a huge city and should be expected. It in no way affected our sleep. Mag mile & free navy pier shuttle are only a few blocks away, and millennium park is also within a mile. The pool was a bit cold but the hot tub, sauna, & rooftop deck compensated for that. In my personal experience I would rather book a nice 3 star hotel like this & have extra $ for sight seeing & good food than to book a more expensive 4-5 star, let's be honest, it's Chicago. With so much to see & do the amount of time spent in your room is minimal, but if I was forced to spend a day inside I wouldn't be at all disappointed in these river north rooms.
