This place was awesome. My son and I stayed here and it was a huge part of our trip to Chicago going well. Perfectly located by everything but not in the bustle of Michigan Ave. Still close to all the good food and museums. The pool, the lounges, the sauna, were perfect after museum and city days. All in all it was excellent. Highly recommend. The staff was also kinder and more helpful than I I’ve experienced in probably 5 years. Thank you Level River North.

We loved our "upgraded" room with the beautiful view of the river, Lake Michigan and the Saturday night fireworks! This was thanks to Michael, our concierge or check-in man at the front desk. It took us a little while to figure out all the lighting but that was a small thing. The coffee at your restaurant left a little to be desired - it was not hearty enough or warm enough. The cappuccino we replaced it with was very good! All in all, a very happy experience.

There was a very distinct smell of mold in the entire hotel, and strong fragrance smell in the entry trying to cover up the mold smell. The pool area was not great, lots of mold. The bottom of the pool was very dirty. The ..."
