10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"First the good: the location is great, right on the river and easily walkable to the Loop of the Magnificent Mile, etc. I arrived early and asked to check my bag, but my room was ready, which was nice. Somehow I got a fabulous upgrade to a comfortable spacious corner room on the 38th floor with the most spectacular views (views plural). When I returned later to rest before dinner, I couldn’t stop looking out the windows—what a show at sunset! The bed was very comfortable, although really really high off the ground. Everything seemed clean. Now the not-so-good: lighting was very sparse in the room—half the room had no lighting at all. No place to charge devices—hello, this is 2026. I had a little trouble with the temperature and there was no way to call downstairs—everything has to be handled in the app. So do stay here, but bring a charging station to plug into the wall—which is far from the bed."
