Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago

8/10 Good
"Good hotel, I’m just not entirely sure if the amenities and overall experience justify the price. Other than big building, prime location and a nice looking hobby, the hotel doesn’t really offer any differential amenity to any random half-priced hotel a few blocks away."
