"As the title suggests, it's located downtown in River North, within walking distance to a great number of cafes, restaurants, and bars. It's also not too far from the river, and has a couple of stations close by as well. So if you're visiting Chicago, this is a sweet spot to be nestled at."

"I am not sure what I should expect for 4-star hotel. Compared to my previous hotel without stars, this hotel has no bath tub, nor coffee machine. Room space is smaller but has every necessary things. Air condition can be set in a few range of temperature, but this is understandable because Chicago is normally cold. There was water drop in shower room, so I heard the sound of dropping almost all the time. Other than these, such as staff and location is really nice. In summary, I think for this price (about £60) this hotel is worthy. However, it should be considered that is it worth for 4 stars."

"Stayed in the city one night for fun. The I/O lounge offered a great view of the skyline even when it was cold outside - very comfortable in the enclosed part. I can see how this would be a great attraction in warmer weather, but we enjoyed it even in cold weather. We went there for pre-dinner cocktails. Our server, Alexis, was really great. Friendly, engaging, and made our visit there even better. Our Old Fashioneds were really well prepared, and Alexis told us the bartender makes this cherry-vanilla syrup used in the drink, and was really tasty. She really enjoyed telling us about the drinks, and we had a nice conversation around it. Very hospitable. After returning from dinner outside the hotel we had a knock on our door. A staffer came to our room because we left an item at I/O, and they brought it to our room to return it. Awesome service. Highly recommend the Godfrey. Alexis is a ***** asset for the Godfrey. "

"It was beyond our exceptions! From the front desk, to the staff and amenities. The location is perfect too! We love going to Bandera's for dinner and it was about 5 blocks away. It's a short walk to the riverwalk and the best Art Museum in the World. My husband and I attended the Gaugin lecture there and enjoyed the special exhibit immensely. The Kenzie hotel had little niceties that when added up made it terrific. They had an umbrella in the room for rainy days, a mirror that has settings based on your day's activities-night, office, daylight.... Breakfast on each floor was nicely displayed ......and pretty good coffee too! Five stars all the way!"

The hotel location is brilliant, just two corners from magnificent mile and not far from the Chicago river walk. Its close to lots of bars and restaurants too, with the pizzeria that created the deep dish pizza on the same block. Would definitely recommend to a friend and would go back. "
