Looking forward to next stay at a Riu Hotel
This was my first stay at a Riu Hotel. It was outstanding on every level - service, atmosphere, cleanliness - you name it. The breakfast was outstanding - state of the art buffet - well-stocked and very tasty. Location is fabulous - just a block off Miracle Mile. Will definitely stay again.

Great location and vibe!
Beautiful hotel, perfect location, outstanding breakfast! Housekeeping skipped us one day and then when we asked for the room to be cleaned they forgot to leave all the clean towels we were supposed to have but other than that the stay was excellent! We will be back!

Room was nice and clean. Included breakfast was a plus. Had to park off sight, but actually was very easy. Only complaint I have was NBC network was not a tv channel selection and I missed Sunday night football.

Breakfast buffet was the best I have seen in any business class hotel - great variety, fresh, fully stocked. The hotel is new and beautifully decorated; the roof top bar has a great view and not too expensive. Fast elevators. The location is perfect for easily going to Michigan Avenue, The Navy Pier, catching a boat tour, etc.
