My husband and I really enjoyed staying at Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel is very clean. Breakfast & bar is so delicious we definitely will come back.
Chi Love you! Thank you so much.
We were very pleased with our stay. The location was excellent! Very clean! Breakfast was great! Staff was very helpful when having trouble with Wi-Fi. Great stay!
I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. The location, the staff, cleanliness and just everything was amazing. You’re walkable to the train station and plenty of buses, but a ton of things to do were nearby and just walk. The staff were so nice and attentive. The breakfast buffet often a great selection. The cherry on top was the later check out time than most hotels.
