Breakfast at CBR

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Didn’t stay in the hotel but just visted CBR for breakfast. Breakfast was great! Edgar was a server. He was very attentive, helpful, and accommodating! Had the steak & eggs, breakfast sandwich, and chocolate chip pancakes.. All were good!

Great Hotel, Great Doorman

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Great hotel, always super clean, professional friendly staff. Antwonne the doorman is one of the best in the city!! Great location in River North, close to the shops at NorthBridge, the onsite bar and restaurant are cozy with decent cocktails.

Spiro is the best! He seems to really care for the people walking through the door. Treated us and our dog with friendliness and care. Treated our luggage with care. He has a great personality and always had an answer to our questions. Thanks Spiro.

Amazing Staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

This was our first time in Chicago and the staff made us feel very welcome. They were accommodating and gave us everything we needed whenever we asked, very quickly. The front was always staffed. The rooms were clean, housekeeping does an excellent job. She always left our place spotless! The staff is what sets Royal Sonesta apart. Spiro is a great ambassador for this hotel. He gave us amazing food recommendations the entire trip and was incredibly professional and friendly. Whenever we had issues or needed extra of anything, the front staff-especially Vania made sure we had it. We never had to ask for anything twice! Overall, it was a great stay. Very central location. I think the rooms could be refreshed but the Royal Sonesta team makes up for it. They provide a 5 star experience that many city hotels don’t.

Ty and Speedo are the greatest!!! They are the most welcoming and hardworking ever! My husband and I stay there for NYE and New Years! It’s great to see the same faces ever year we come! The area has so many things to do in walking distance. The valet guys are awesome. They recognize us ever year we that we stay!
