Verified Reviews of Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Staff, Restaurant and Location were A+."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
I absolutely LOVED the location for the marathon, the staff were amazing and the food at the in house restaurant was excellent quality. But I did not love my room, it had definitely seen better days, visible wear and tear. Sheets wouldnt stay on the bed. Door was very thin and could hear the elevator and folks talking, the A/C couldn't keep the room cool and I only set it on 72. I would probably try a different hotel next time. And the outdoor hot tubs were closed which is one reason I chose the hotel, to sit in the hot tubs after the marathon.
