Recent Best Western River North Review: "Very pleasant, helpful staff. Good location. Convenient to restaurants and Magnificent Mile shopping. FREE PARKING! We spent four nights. Older hotel with renovations. Nice indoor pool on seventh floor-wish I had time to use it. Nice smallish fitness center in pool area with good, club-level machines. No breakfast to speak of, but breakfast bars available  every morning, coffee available at all times, and computer w/internet and printer available in lobby. Friendly staff. Our room was always clean. Hallways clean. We walked to Chop House in under five minutes. Gino's Pizza under five minutes. McDonalds across the street. Hard Rock Cafe across the street. Did I mention free parkingr It was not super quiet. Street noise, especially police sirens, were occasionally annoying. My wake up call was only correct 2 mornings out of 4-a small inconvenience. If morning timeliness is critical, I'd suggest using the supplied alarm clock. Rates weren't cheap, but hey, it's downtown Chicago. Also, it is only 2-3 minutes off the highway, and easy to find. I'll stay there again."
