Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North
110 W Huron St, Chicago, IL 60654, South Chicago, United States
3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.8 / 5
Overview
Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North is a 3-star extended-stay style hotel set in a bustling River North area filled with restaurants and shops. At 17 floors, it is a larger-than-average property for the Home2 brand, which typically runs 4-6 stories. Its informal, all-suite format is geared toward travelers who want more space and self-catering options than a standard hotel room.
Rooms
Rooms are straightforward but functional, featuring kitchenettes with cookware, dishes and glasses, flat-screen TVs, sofabeds, and free Wi-Fi. Suites step up further with separate living rooms, giving families or longer-stay guests extra room to spread out. Some guests have noted the pull-out sofabeds are on the firmer side, though requesting a mattress pad can help.
Dining & Amenities
Complimentary breakfast is served daily, along with a coffee bar for afternoon pick-me-ups, though the breakfast area can get crowded relative to the size of the hotel. On-site facilities include a gym, meeting rooms, and guest laundry, and pets are welcome for a surcharge, making it accommodating for both business and leisure stays.
Location
The hotel sits about a 6-minute walk from a subway station and roughly a mile from both Millennium Park and the Willis Tower, placing guests within easy reach of Chicago's core attractions. Nearby points of interest include the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (909m), 875 North Michigan Avenue (828m), the Chicago Riverwalk (1007m), The Chicago Theatre (1111m), Cloud Gate (1539m), Millennium Park (1578m), Willis Tower and Skydeck Chicago (1834m), The Art Institute of Chicago (1880m), Chicago History Museum (1854m), Navy Pier (2221m), Lincoln Park Zoo (2968m), Shedd Aquarium (3383m), Field Museum (3422m), and Adler Planetarium (3789m).
Best for
This hotel suits families, longer-stay visitors, and pet owners who value in-suite kitchenettes, laundry facilities, and separate living areas over traditional hotel amenities. It's also well positioned for sightseers who want walkable access to Michigan Avenue, Millennium Park, and the Riverwalk without paying for a downtown high-rise.
Travel tips
A subway station is about a 6-minute walk away, making it easy to reach downtown attractions without a car, and many major sights like Millennium Park and Willis Tower are within roughly a mile on foot. Given guest reports of slow elevators and crowded breakfast hours, it's worth allowing extra time in the morning or opting to use the stairs for lower floors. Booking early breakfast or bringing patience for peak-hour crowds can help avoid the busiest window in the dining area.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the cleanliness of rooms, the well-equipped kitchenettes with full sets of dishes and cookware, and the friendliness of housekeeping and front-desk staff. The convenient River North location near Michigan Avenue is also a recurring highlight. On the downside, several reviewers note that the breakfast area is too small and hot food service too slow for the hotel's size, leaving guests waiting for refills. A notable complaint concerns the elevator system, with long wait times and inefficient service for a 17-floor property, along with mentions of a firm pull-out sofa and minor carpet stains in common areas.
