8/10 Good

"Overall my stay was pretty good. The only two issues were my mini fridge wasn’t working and I lost my leftovers that sat in there for the two days I stayed. Secondly, I had a staff member tell me about a special tour and promotion, only to tell me somehow I was not eligible. Then he had me bring my son down to see if he could be eligible. He was only 18,not 21. So he was not. That was not very pleasant considering it was basically pulled back for some reason . I visit 3-4 times a year. I either stay at the Westin River north or the Royal Sonesta River North. The lost food was no biggie but being given a whole rundown about how the hotel was trying to build a new customer base and then being told I wasn’t eligible was crappy. I can’t lie. Everything else was pretty good. The happy hours were cool. Staff outside of that was generally ok."

8/10 Good

"The hotel property was beautiful; however, the staff was less than accommodating. During check-in, three groups waited 10 to 15 minutes before receiving assistance. While we were waiting, a staff member entered the office directly behind the check-in desk, where another employee appeared to be engaged in a conversation. That employee could clearly see the three groups waiting but allowed the door to close and did not offer assistance. The groups continued waiting for several more minutes before the same staff member emerged from the back office to assist guests checking into their rooms. On Monday morning, my wife and I went to have breakfast in the restaurant. A sign at the entrance clearly stated, "Please wait to be seated." We stood there for approximately ten minutes while several staff members looked directly at us without acknowledging our presence. After losing patience, I walked down the stairs and asked if someone would be seating us. One of the staff members then informed us that we could seat ourselves at any available table. While the property itself was impressive, the lack of attentiveness and customer service from the staff detracted significantly from our overall experience."

Arlo Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Arlo Chicago was perfect! If you are in a wheelchair, the ADA King room was fully accessible with a low sitting bed, walk-in shower, open sinks, and enough space to get around room. It was quiet with electric blinds making it easy to open/close. The location is within walking distance of just about anything, or a bus stop and train station right out front or a block down to access train. The famous Bean site was a 2 minute walk, the Riverwalk about 5 minutes, and so much more. The parking was so easy. You pull right at back door & unload, and the parking garage is literally at the end of that alley. That was my biggest concern being my first overnight stay in a wheelchair where I must transfer in/out my chair. There is a bar and restaurant inside the hotel, drinks (for a fee) already in the room, a refrigerator, alcohol, water, soda, coffee machine, toiletries, robes, etc. The view was awesome. Thank you for the amazing staff who were so kind & helpful...especially Terell who was more than accommodating in helping us register with parking garage online. The room was clean, common areas welcoming, and I will only stay at this location in the future. My only criticism is that the ADA room had a heavy door and was a sharp right angle to enter, which could potentially be an issue for an electric wheelchair user if they were traveling alone...but the staff would have helped. Be prepared financially, but our room was worth the rate & reasonable for all the amenities."
