Great staff and great experience. Food is a little pricy but this is downtown Chicago ... very comparable. Staff went out of the way to make sure my family had a great time. Will have to stay there again (kids won't let us stay anywhere else now). More

This was our third trip to the Hard Rock Chicago, and we were not disappointed. We typically travel as a couple, but this spring on a whim decided to take our toddlers into the city. We weren't sure if the Hard Rock, known for its music, bar, and rock star atmosphere would be good for kids. We were welcomed with... More

I just spent 3 nights at the Hard Rock Hotel in a king room. We took the train from Chicago O'Hare, which takes about 35 minutes. Get off at the Clark/Lake station and it is a short walk (about 4 blocks). I had never been on the "L" before, so I was a little nervous about taking the train, but... More

The Hard Rock Hotel Chicago is in an ideal location. Great views of the city and Millennium Park from the rooms. But, the front desk service was pretty rude and difficult to work with on a recent trip. They seemed like they had better things to do than help out paying guests. More

Stayed in March '12 for Chicago's hair show. Nice location. Friendly staff. I had to pay a $100 cash deposit (I didn't have a credit card with me). Parking could be better ($50 for self park). The rooms are very dark, but very spacious. We ate dinner there and it was really good. The bar had nothing going on, we... More

Just returned from a 4 night work trip to Chicago where I stayed at the Hard Rock. What brilliant staff - especially the concierge who advised us so well and even devised a mini pub crawl for us linked to the sight-seeing bus tour. The bar had a good atmosphere too despite some dubious choices of dance music (Star Ships... More

Only had a weekend to see son and wife who live far enough away and remotely enough that regular visits are very difficult. decided to meet in Chicago. A large convention made hotel accommodations difficult but finally secured two rooms at the Hard Rock in downtown Chicago. The physical plant itself is not the main focus of this review -... More

Just wanted to complement the Hard Rock staff on my recent stay. Even after a computer glitch that showed no reservation, they received me warmly at 11 p.m. on a cool night in April, found me a room, honored the conference rate, and gave me a free drink because "I looked like I needed one". Thanks Hard Rock! More
