Westin Chicago River North - Summer 2010


The Westin Chicago River North is one of my favorite properties in Chicago as indicated in my Fall 2009 review.  

On my final day in Chicago I decided to stay here, to maximize a promo.  Checking in I was greeted by name - love that - and the agent went over the general elite benefits and sent me on my way to the Executive Club level.

I expected to be upgraded, but not upgraded to a suite as large as I was assigned.  I had to call the FD agent and thank them and they said, "no, we thank you for being such a loyal guest".  Good customer service is essential in a business and when I'm treated like I'm the only person in an establishment, that makes it easier for me to be a repeat guest.

The room was the largest room I've ever been assigned here.

You walk into a long entry hallway, that leads you past a bathroom and into a large parlor. 

On the desk there is a mac, which provides guest with free internet access.


Off the parlor is a large bedroom.  The bedroom has great views of the Loop and West Loop Areas.



Back out in the hallway, there are a couple of walk in closets.


Across from the closet is a massive bathroom. The bathroom is larger than some New York City apartments.

I could live in the bathroom alone.

The executive club lounge is open and provides a nice assortment of items throughout the day.  The gym is crowded but functional.  

The staff is responsive, pleasant and professional and with it's prime location I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.
