Oakton Driving Range Tours

quiet, stily , good price

Loved the attention to details that made the experience exceptional.

The Embassy Suites River North is a conveniently located hotel in the Chicago downtown area. You are three short blocks away from the Magnificent Mile and about a 10 minute walk to the river. I stayed here with my family of 5 for 4 nights and I felt like this was a good choice. There were plenty of dining options in the area, a Starbucks at the end of the block, and a grocery store across the street. Quartino's, the Italian restaurant next door, is excellent. The area is pretty safe and there are people out at all hours. Even though I was on the 4th floor, I was not bothered by any of the street noise, despite the odd car here and there that would rev their engines through the city. There is a Red Line station a block away, which we took to Wrigley, but otherwise, we walked pretty much everywhere. A walk to the Navy Pier is doable, but is a little rough during the summer. As with all Embassy Suites, you have the free breakfast and cocktail reception. The omelet station stands out, but the rest of the breakfast is par for the course. The cocktail reception allows 2 alcoholic beverages per adult and some snacks every night. Good to have available if you are at the hotel at that time. I did leave a couple items at the hotel and when I called to ask about them, I was referred to a service that they use for lost items. We'll see if I'm able to get them back. Overall, a good hotel in a good location.
