Surprisingly Nice and Very Convenient
I just got back from a business trip to Chicago. Because of a large convention in town, the only hotel I could find in the area I needed to be in (River North) was the Best Western Plus. Although I have nothing against Best Westerns, I usually stay at what are considered full-service hotels and I think of Best Westerns as roadside inns for families.
I was so pleasantly surprised with this property! There is a good Italian restaurant and bar just off the lobby that has killer Chicago style, deep dish pizza. There is a small but serviceable fitness room on the roof with an indoor pool. Although I didn't use it, the hotel offers free WiFi and FREE PARKING (unheard of in downtown Chicago.) My room was pleasant, rather large, and well equipped with extra pillows, blankets, coffee maker, hair dryer, etc.
If you are looking for exceptional value in Chicago, you need to look no further than the Best Western Plus River North Chicago Downtown!
