COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT CHICAGO DOWNTOWN/RIVER NORTH, Chicago

The hotel's River North address places it on a lively strip of bars and restaurants. The luxury shops of Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile are less than 5 minutes' walk away, and Navy Pier, Millennium Park, and Ohio Street Beach are all under 2 km. An elevated train station is two blocks away, and the downtown loop is walkable. The surrounding streets feature a mix of nightlife, dining, and street activity; rooms on lower floors may experience noticeable noise from nearby clubs and car bass.

Rooms feature a flat-screen TV with cable channels, tea/coffee maker, hairdryer, ironing facilities, and a carpeted floor. Every room has a refrigerator and microwave. King suites include a sofa bed separated from the bedroom by French doors; in standard king rooms the sofa bed is in the same room. All rooms have private bathrooms with a walk-in shower. Some rooms offer city views, but no rooms have a balcony, jacuzzi, or river view. The air conditioning can be set as low as 20.6 °C, but windows do not open, which can affect ventilation.

Gladsome's on State is open for breakfast (06:00-11:00 daily) and dinner (17:00-22:00 daily) in a family-friendly setting. Breakfast is an additional charge and the café stops making fresh coffee around 10:00, so plan to arrive early. There is no full sit-down restaurant on site. The surrounding Restaurant Row provides a wide variety of dining options for other meals.
