Home2 Suites By Hilton Chicago River North

Home2 Suites By Hilton Chicago River North Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Home2 Suites By Hilton Chicago River North, you immediately get that modern extended-stay vibe — clean lines, contemporary furnishings, and a lobby that feels more like a stylish apartment building than a traditional hotel. The staff actually seems to know what they’re doing here, which honestly isn’t always a given with three-star properties. What struck me right away was how the place manages to feel both polished and relaxed at the same time.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s great about River North? You’re basically in the sweet spot of Chicago without the tourist chaos of the Loop. This hotel sits on West Huron, and I mean, you can walk to Michigan Avenue shopping in about ten minutes, but you’re also close enough to some really solid local spots that most visitors never find. The couples rating this location so highly makes total sense — there’s something romantic about strolling through this neighborhood, especially in the evening when the city lights start reflecting off the buildings.

The Suite Experience

Here’s where Home2 Suites really delivers on its promise. Each room is actually a suite with a separate living area and a proper kitchenette — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. The kitchen setup includes a full-size refrigerator, stovetop, and dishwasher, which honestly saved me a fortune on dining out. The sleeping area feels separate enough that you don’t feel like you’re living in a hotel room, if that makes sense. Storage is surprisingly generous too, something you really appreciate after a few days.

Breakfast & Amenities

The breakfast spread here is actually pretty impressive for this price point. They do both continental and American options buffet-style, so you’re not stuck with just pastries and coffee. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality — real eggs, decent bacon, and they even had some healthier options that didn’t look like an afterthought. The fitness center is small but functional, and there’s a parking garage attached, which in River North is basically worth its weight in gold.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it bridges the gap between a hotel and temporary housing. Business travelers love the kitchen setup for longer stays, but leisure visitors appreciate having the space to spread out and actually live a little. The location score speaks for itself — you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the tourist madness to get a good night’s sleep. Plus, the Hilton reliability factor means you know what you’re getting, which sometimes is exactly what you need when you’re traveling. This restaurant and bar area provides convenient dining options for guests seeking meals without leaving the property.
