The hype
Travelers love the modern design and comfortable beds, but the noise levels and worn furniture in some rooms are frequent complaints.

$170-350/ noc
Zarezervuj si to, pokud You want a trendy River North launchpad with a killer rooftop scene and don't mind a bit of noise.
Proč to lidé milují
- The I|O Godfrey rooftop is a legitimate Chicago hotspot year-round
- Location is unbeatable—walking distance to the best of River North and Mag Mile
- Rooms are surprisingly spacious with wet bars and ergonomic workstations
Rychlý přehled: A stylish party hotel where the rooftop vibe is excellent but the street noise and 'Urban Fee' might kill your buzz.
Recenzoval @ktdidwhatnow: I stayed here for a work trip and honestly, the setup was perfect. I set up my laptop at the desk facing the window and the Chicago night skyline was such a vibe. The room felt super modern and the bathroom lighting was great for filming. Fast Wi-Fi too!

5 věcí, které byste měli vědět, než se vydáte
💡The 'retractable roof' is cool, but it makes the rooftop feel more like a greenhouse than an outdoor patio in winter.
💡Housekeeping is sometimes 'on request' only for shorter stays—confirm at check-in.
💡The shower floors can be incredibly slippery; be careful.
💡There is no microwave in the standard rooms.
💡The elevators can be slow and crowded during rooftop party hours (weekend nights).
