This was my second stay at Hotel 71. The room I was in previously faced a back area with a view of a building and alley. For this stay I was able to upgrade my room to one facing the river on a high floor. I don't usually keep the curtains open but I did on this stay. The view... More

I have to thank my fellow reviewers for the great pictures! The rooms are exactly as displayed on travellers photos that my pics will only be redundant. Kelly at the front desk was exetremely helpful in allowing me to enjoy my birthday. Check in was a breeze and the service is attentive and kind. I requested a high floor facing... More

They stole my ipod and a good expensive pair of sunglasses. Moreover, I waited for my car about 45 minutes. Bull shi.. Hotel itself is old, thats way it almost every time available. Breakfast is expensive, but ok. DO NOT BOOK IT!!! More

Thumbs up for the Hotel 71! Make sure you book a Riverview Room because that vista will blow you away. With that comes the perfect location just off Michigan Avenue, close to shops, restaurants, bars and so on. Really great! I was also glad to see that despite the size of the hotel and the workload during rush hours Front... More

Centrally located, very reasonably priced (by my standards at least), and well kept, this was ideal for an overnight business trip. Friendly staff. Good in-house restaurant (tad pricey for breakfast). Have recommended it to friends. Would stay again. Nice views from upper floors. More

In town quarterly for business...2 nights per trip. Need balance between business in loop area and mag mile fun/best restaurants. Hotel 71 is walking distance to/from both. Also, the experience was seamless. 71's decor is neutral/pleasing, hotel is clean. Views were terrific. Did not eat at the restaurant but there are loads of options close by. Will return. More

This place is in a perfect spot, overlooking the Chicago river, in front of the Wrigley' building, one block from Michigan Avenue, shopping, restaurants. Large rooms, clean. High floors offer a breathtaking sight. More

I picked Hotel 71 thru internet search, because it was near Lake Clark station coming from Ohare airport by train. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the room I have chosen by internet in a high floor with view to the Chicago River was really comfortable and it had a wonderful view to the Chicago River and the...
