Verified reviews of Aloft Chicago Downtown River North
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently: "Amazing Staff & Service!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
My wife got some kind of stomach bug during our stay. Mercedes at the front desk was amazing. She did everything she could to make my wife more comfortable. Gave us waters, tried finding some stomach medicine. The staff went above and beyond and it was very much appreciated! I didn't catch the other employees names but Mercedes stood out the most and we really do appreciate her!
