9.4/10 Exceptional! (5,340 reviews)
This was my first stay at a Hotel Riu and I was thoroughly impressed! It reminded me of the hotels in Southeast Asia I have visited - attentive staff, very clean facilities, attention to details, and the best breakfast buffet I have probably ever had at a US hotel that is included in the hotel room rate. The bonus to all of this being that it was literally steps from the Magnificent Mile and had easy access to Express bus lines and the MTA. Would definitely stay here again!
