HotelChatter

Best known for its RockBand suite aka Microsoft XBox 360 lounge, this hotel is right on the Chicago River. It's now rumored to be a Thompson Hotel. From HotelChatter contributor JetSetCD who stayed there in October 2009:

Every hotel has their problems, and the Sax isn't making any fatal mistakes. The service was great and the room was adequate, and hello—location and free wifi! Nonetheless, a few tweaks could re-invigorate the place and remind people why staying on the river beats the middle of the loop or Michigan Avenue.
