La Quinta Inn Downtown Location

Tucked in the heart of downtown Chicago in the Financial District, the La Quinta Inn is just two blocks from the Chicago River (famously dyed green each St. Patrick’s Day). Take a walk on the river on enjoy the city’s famous Architectural River Boat Cruise. The hotel is also just two blocks from the famous Willis Tower (formerly Sears), where visitors can stand an extended four-feet from the Skydeck and enjoy the view from 1,353 feet above the city.

For dinner with a view, eat at Rivers Restaurant or South Branch Tavern and Grille just steps from the La Quinta. Nearby hotels include the W Chicago – City Center, JW Marriott Chicago, and Hyatt Place Chicago Downtown – The Loop. Since the prime location is a bit pricey, the La Quinta is in step with nearby hotels when it comes to cost.

La Quinta Inn Downtown –The verdict

The La Quinta Inn & Suites Chicago Downtown has a lot of perks besides its prime location. There is also free WiFi, complimentary breakfast and on-site amenities like fitness and business centers. But, the La Quinta is a three-star hotel with similar pricing to nearby four-star accommodations. If you don’t care about the free breakfast, it might be worth checking out other locations just a few blocks further from the river.
