I accidentally booked the wrong date with a different hotel. I resulted in booking this hotel last minute (in the hotel lobby) for a Saturday night. I asked Royal Sonesta if they could match the booking price and they couldn't (they were substantially higher), so I booked the hotel on the web with booking.com and received a great discount AND an upgraded room. It was a corner room, 7th, floor, with a corner city view. Hotel staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Location was right around the corner from the Comedy Bar. Very easy to get around walking.

This is a great hotel with perfect walking distance to multiple stores, sights, and great restaurants. It was my 5th time in Chicago, and out of all the hotels I've stayed in this was my favorite one by far :) The room was large and very comfortable, had all the amenities I personally needed. It was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable,...

The hotel was very central to downtown Chicago and also close to other activities we had planned. The atmosphere was great and the credit for a drink at the bar as part of the room stay was lovely. The pool, workout room and the outdoor patio were really nice as well.
