Great stay
Pros:

I've stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Chicago Downtown River North multiple times and have consistently had great experiences. The hotel is in a fantastic location, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and the overall experience is always excellent.

What really makes this property stand out, however, is the staff—especially Fannie and Javier. They are always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Going down for breakfast is genuinely a highlight of the stay when they're there. They take the time to greet guests, make everyone feel welcome, and consistently provide outstanding service with a smile.

Fannie and Javier are a real asset to the hotel and a big reason I continue to stay here whenever I'm in Chicago. Thank you both for making every visit memorable!

Excellent in every way
Pros:

This hotel is excellent, centrally located in downtown and plenty of good restaurants and amenities around it.
Jose at the reception is doing a fantastic job, very friendly, professional, helpful, and has excellent communication skills in addition he is very well customer oriented. He helped us with all questions we have since it was our first time in Chicago and open nice conversation with customers and a pleasure to deal with.

Upon checking make sure you request room cleaning/housekeeping if you need it, and precise which dates exactly.

We used valet parking for the duration of our stay to avoid dealing with other options.

The rooms and the hotel is modern, no issue. Amenities in the bathroom, include shampoo, conditioner and body wash, plus soap bar, and hair dryer.
Small fridge available in the room. Bottle of filtered water for $9.00 so make sure you bring what you need from outside.

Breakfast included, but don’t rely on it if you want something better, and i recommend exploring outside, including a close by drive-thru McDonald’s that is open 24/7 serving breakfast.
There are floors with ice machines, so if you like a cold drink, ask for a room at same floor of the machine.

We booked online the big bus tour for one day pass, the bus has 11 stops and stop # 11 is close to the hotel. So you can take the bus there and go until it starts the route from stop # 1.

We are pleased with our stay and we highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chicago.

Cons:

Solicitamos y pagamos dos habitaciones con dos camas pero ellos dijeron que en la reserva de Booking habían dos habitaciones con una cama extragrande así que nos tocó dormir 5 personas en dos camas, eso es inconveniente e improcedente.
