    Using the key to turn on the power in the room. That needs to be upgraded, and it made a weird buzzing sound whenever the lights first turned on. Also, the customer service experience over the phone between booking.com and the Riu hotel when I tried to add another night to my stay was very frustrating. I ended up switching hotels for that final night that I tried to add.

    Amazing location off of magnificent mile, the rooms were great and the breakfast was amazing. The breakfast area was ran better than most restaurants!

    Bed was comfortable, the facilities were clean, and the breakfast was delicious. Shut out to Gianni from the rooftop for his excellent service. And an excellent location near great stores and restaurants.

    One of our rooms had not been cleaned before our entry

    Great location, excellent amenities, the best hotel breakfast in town. One room was spotlessly clean and very nice. We did have a problem with our second room, but that was very quickly addressed. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

    To be honest, there were only two small points. The first one, and the most important, was the Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, the internet connection did not work very well during our stay. It was difficult to make calls with our kids, and we often had to switch to 5G because the Wi-Fi was too weak. I think this is something that should definitely be improved, especially since many international guests rely on a strong internet connection. Good Wi-Fi is really a must nowadays. The second point, which is minor and of course not easy to change, is that the walls were quite thin. You could sometimes hear the neighbors, but it was not a big issue. Overall, the only real downside for us was the Wi-Fi. Everything else was wonderful, and our experience at Hotel Riu was truly perfect.

    Our stay at Hotel Riu in Chicago was truly amazing! The best part was definitely the location, right in the city center, so everything is within walking distance. Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, shops, and so much more are just around the corner, which makes it super convenient. You really do not need an Uber because everything is walkable. The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming. They even gave us a room on a higher floor so we could enjoy a beautiful view of the city, which made our stay extra special. The rooms themselves were excellent, very clean, modern, and the beds were so comfortable. The breakfast included was also very good and made mornings easy and enjoyable. We have also stayed at Riu in New York, which was just as wonderful, also right in the city center. This consistency really makes us love the Riu hotels.

    Room next to the maintenance room on the 26th floor. Was slightly noisy. But bring ear plugs and you’re all good.

    Wonderful location within walking distance of many attractions. Great breakfast buffet every morning. (With compost containers for food scraps!) Nutella fans: they had Nutella ON TAP at the buffet. 🤤. Warm, welcoming, and very buttoned-up service. Bathroom had refillable soap/shampoo containers — no plastic waste! Comfy beds. Great international vibe -loved hearing so many different languages spoken around us every day. Nice rooftop bar. Would def stay again.
