Top Back of the Yards Hotel Reviews

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, perfect location, amazing service! Just be mindful with your bill when checking out because I was charged for valet parking even tho I didn't have a car, and had to see the staff to fix it (recommend checking out via staff instead of the kiosk if the charges don't match). Overall, perfect!"

Hyatt Regency Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Again there were a variety of add on fees that were not mentioned in the booking. I would like for all the fees to be up front when I am selecting a location to stay so I am comparing apples to apples. This add on of fees when I arrive is not what I consider to be up front and honest about the pricing."
