I stayed for a night, using reward points. The lobby and history of the hotel is fascinating. However, my room was so small I thought I was in New York City. It's a good thing it was only a place to sleep for this stay. The walls were also paper thin, we could here people coming and going. More

This hotel is completely outdated, I would say beyond being capable of simply renovating. I went with my boyfriend for his work conference and he was equally appalled. There is little to no ventilation in the rooms, even by turning the ac to as low as it would go, it was too hot and dingy smelling. Fortunately, you are able... More

Stayed here a couple of times, including part of my honeymoon, & will definitely be going back. Great location right across the street from Grant Park & Buckingham Fountain on S.Michigan Avenue. Convenient for everything Chicago has to offer. Beautiful public areas & great Irish bar 'Kitty O'Sheas'. Good breakfast & a Starbucks right in the reception area. Highly recommend! More

While the mainline staff is friendly, this hotel is in general too expensive and incredibly incompetent, especially for conventions like the one I attended. In room internet is outrageously expensive. Elevators are impossibility slow, the television system goes out every time it rains and communications staff never seems to know what is going on - like when you're stuck on... More

The location is fantastic and the public spaces are grand and beautiful. Overall service was great. Then you get to your room. I have had larger rooms on a cruise ship. The king size bed took up most of the space. With the additional furniture crammed in, you barely had a 2 ft wide path. The bathroom was tired and... More

Very nice hotel with lots of history. We stayed Good Friday weekend. The only bad experience I had was at check in. Not enough staff to check everyone in. Took about 40 minutes of standing in line to check in. Because of the long wait we were upgraded to one of the newly renovated rooms. The room was very clean.... More

This hotel has such a rich history and could be brought back to such regal splendor. The elevators are very shabby inside and some of the modern updated interor clashes strongly with the old upscale style of the hotel. Let the modern hotels be modern and allow the Hilton Chicago be the grand old girl that she really was meant... More

Here for a business trip. Major construction outside our window. Complained but they wouldn't move us. Had to contact corporate Hilton to get moved. The location is nice if you want to go to the museum campus. Not so great for anything else. Took a lot of cabs. Wish the customer service had been up to hilton standards. More
