Best rooms at Hotel 505 River North, ranked
Best rooms: choose a Deluxe Room, City View if you want a dedicated skyline/window view — the hotel lists only two room types: Deluxe Room (1 King or 2 Queen beds) and Deluxe Room, City View (1 King). For more space or in-room jetted tubs, ask about the property's Spa Suites when booking; those are offered separately from the listed Deluxe categories.

How rooms are named and what’s available
Hotel 505 River North lists two primary room types by name: Deluxe Room and Deluxe Room, City View. The Deluxe Room has options for either 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds; the City View type is listed with 1 King Bed.
The property also advertises individually decorated guestrooms and mentions Spa Suites (Junior Spa Suites, One-Bedroom Spa Suites, Luxury Spa Suites) elsewhere in its materials; those Spa Suites include jetted soaking tubs but are separate from the two primary Deluxe room types shown on the main room list.
- Deluxe Room — 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- Deluxe Room, City View — 1 King Bed
- Spa Suites (book separately) — in-room jetted soaking tubs reported in hotel materials
| Room name | Bed options | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Room | 1 King or 2 Queen | Basic downtown guest room; flexible for pairs/families |
| Deluxe Room, City View | 1 King | If you want more window/city skyline exposure |
| Spa Suites (separate) | Varies | If you need a jetted soaking tub in-room |
Best pick for city views: Deluxe Room, City View
If your priority is a skyline or street view, choose Deluxe Room, City View (listed with 1 King Bed). The hotel markets this room specifically as a city-view option, so it’s the safest way to request extra window exposure.
City View rooms are good for travelers who want daylight and an urban outlook during their stay; if a particular floor or sightline matters (river vs. avenue), request specifics when booking or at check-in.
- Listed bed: 1 King Bed
- Ask at booking for higher floors to maximize skyline views
- No guarantee of exact sightlines — confirm on arrival
| Feature | City View room |
|---|---|
| Bed type listed | 1 King Bed |
| Designed for | Guests wanting city-facing windows |
| Photo example | See photo 19 for a representative king bed with city window |
Best pick for flexible sleeping arrangements: Deluxe Room (2 Queen option)
Traveling with children or a friend and want separate beds? The Deluxe Room can be booked with 2 Queen Beds, making it the most practical choice for two adults who prefer separate beds or a small family using existing bedding.
The hotel notes rollaway beds and cribs are not available, and children of all ages can stay using existing bedding, so the 2 Queen layout avoids the need for additional bedding requests.
- Deluxe Room with 2 Queen Beds — best for families or roommates
- Children of all ages welcome and can use existing bedding
- No rollaway beds or cribs available at the property
| Need | Recommended room |
|---|---|
| Separate beds | Deluxe Room (2 Queen Beds) |
| Family with small child using existing bedding | Deluxe Room (any bed configuration) |
| In-room jetted tub | Book a Spa Suite (separate room category) |
When to request a Spa Suite or in-room soaking tub
Hotel materials and third-party listings reference Junior Spa Suites, One-Bedroom Spa Suites, and Luxury Spa Suites that include jetted 'Fuji' soaking tubs and walk-in showers. These are separate from the two listed Deluxe Room types and are the option to request if a tub is important to you.
The property does not operate a standalone spa facility; instead, in-room spa treatments and Spa Suites provide the soaking-tub experience on a per-room basis.
- Spa Suites include jetted soaking tubs (described in hotel materials)
- In-room spa treatments are offered rather than a dedicated spa venue
- Ask reservations or front desk for specific Spa Suite availability and features
| Feature | Spa Suite notes |
|---|---|
| Jetted tub | Included in Spa Suites (per hotel materials) |
| Standalone spa | No — in-room treatments only |
| Availability | Book directly and confirm tub type |
Practical tips for booking and room requests
Check-in time is 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM; the front desk is staffed 24/7 and can assist with requests for early check-in or late check-out subject to availability and possible fees.
If you have accessibility, pet or family needs, state them when booking: the hotel is dog-friendly (up to two dogs per room, up to 50 lbs each, with specified pet fees) and offers accessible rooms and features.
- Minimum check-in age: 21 for the primary guest — ID and credit card required at check-in
- Pet policy: up to two dogs per room, fees apply (hotel lists $75 up to 7 nights, $150 for 8+ nights per dog)
- Housekeeping is provided on request rather than daily by default — call the front desk to schedule room refreshes
| Common request | Best practice |
|---|---|
| High-floor/city view | Request Deluxe Room, City View and ask for higher floor |
| Bed configuration | Reserve Deluxe Room and specify 1 King or 2 Queens |
| Pet travel | Declare pets at booking to confirm fees and room assignment |
Which rooms are best for events or work travel
Hotel 505 River North offers more than 8,000 square feet of meeting and event space across ten rooms, making it a reasonable choice for business travelers who also need on-site meeting venues. For meetings, confirm function-room bookings with the hotel’s event team when you reserve rooms for attendees.
For business stays that need a desk or a seating area, request a Deluxe Room with a sofa/desk layout or ask about available room upgrades at check-in if you need extra workspace.
