Staff was friendly and most part rooms are prepared great. Only suggestion would be to get Air fresheners for the room, our first room smelled moist. As if wet clothes were smothered somewhere. Maybe more toiletries in the bathroom such as cotton swabs, cotton balls.

The breakfast was horrible. No ice and only 2 waters per room no matter how-long you stay. Very basic very disappointing experience. Staff is very kind.

My stay at the Hotel Riu Plaza in downtown Chicago was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The location is perfect — right in the heart of the city, close to everything, yet quiet enough for a relaxing getaway. The highlight of my stay was the breakfast buffet. It was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had at any hotel! The variety was amazing — fresh fruit, made-to-order omelets, pastries, pancakes, and plenty of healthy options too. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The staff working the breakfast area were so friendly and attentive, always making sure guests had what they needed and tables were spotless. Speaking of spotless, I have to give huge credit to the cleaning staff. They kept the rooms and common areas immaculate. My room was always perfectly cleaned and restocked, and every area of the hotel — from the lobby to the elevators — was shining. You can tell they take real pride in their work. And the rooftop view — absolutely breathtaking! Whether it was morning or night, the skyline looked stunning from up there. It’s the perfect spot to relax, take photos, or just soak in the beauty of Chicago. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend the Riu Plaza Chicago to anyone visiting the city. Fantastic service, amazing breakfast, and unbeatable views — this hotel truly exceeded all expectations!

The room was more spacious than most hotels. The daily breakfast that's included in the stay was amazing - it was a feast than just a breakfast. The location was excellent as well - walking distance to a variety of dining, shopping, and site seeing - like walkable to the architetual tour. The staff were super friendly and helpful! The only problem was that the water pressure of the bathroom sinks were very low, probably for water saving purposes - but water pressure could be slightly higher. The showers don't have this issue at all with nice pressure and good temperature.

The room was spotless, and the bed offered exceptional comfort. The hotel has a fantastic location easy to navigate and situated in a vibrant area of town. Each morning, the breakfast buffet served up delicious options that changed daily. The staff were consistently kind, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. A particular highlight: on the 28th floor there’s a beautiful terrace featuring cozy fires, drinks, food service, and incredible views, making it a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery.

The lobby was beautiful and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However a large shortcoming in my opinion is the lack of food and dining services available. If the bar is closed and the 2 complimentary waters are gone, there is literally nothing to drink on the premises. There is no 24/7 “grab and go” not even a vending machine. With how much money it cost to stay, customers shouldn’t have to leave for a bottle for water. Also the interior hallways of the hotel look very lifeless like an office/suite space.

Bedroom & bathroom very clean.The shower was wonderful! Lots of clean fluffy towels. Hot breakfast was good with a big choice of foods. I like the fact that staff accompanied us to the table. The rooftop bar was amazing and heated. My only thought would be, please put some tea sachets in the room... as not everyone drinks coffee. We would definitely recommend the Riu!
