Loved it.
Breakfast was great, staff was amazing
Parking. Mind blowing how much parking is
21 December 2024
Great value-just a few things to improve upon.
Size of room-we had a suite, decor was nice, staff were great, good location-especially if you like fire trucks-we stopped by and even got a personal tour. Breakfast was decent and there was plenty. Would stay again.
The shower curtain didn’t reach the length of the tub, the baseboard heater was not properly installed and the heat coil was easily accessible to small children and debris, the beds were not comfortable in our room, one was too soft one was stiff as a board. And as always the vent in the bathroom didn’t work.

Great location and accomodations. expensive parking though.
great location, awesome staff, clean and comfortable room.
It says the property has a parking, but it doesn't. at arrival they give you a paper with a (expensive-$58/day) recommendation and making it clear they don't have any relationship with the parking supplier. that came as a not great surprise.

All around decent stay in River North…
The lobby was inviting. Front desk staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent. Room was very clean.
Cold pool. Pool towels were the size of a washcloth. Breakfast could have offered more selection and a more streamlined way of serving. Bottleneck at the waffle maker and toaster.

Fast check in and out. Friendly and helpful staff.
The microwave in the lobby was slow to warm up my food.

We had great time.
Check and valet parking went very smoothly. Good breakfast every morning.
Pool is lack luster. The front entrance is right on the street and can get busy.

Needed a convenient location near the parade route, traveling with a family. Perfect!
Breakfast was good, staff was great at refilling.
Kitchen had no utensil at all.
26 November 2024
Very good
Location was great for everything we did. Enjoyed the great breakfast area each day and the staff was wonderful!
The wallpaper was pealing in the bathroom and the handle on the toilet was loose, we thought we might break it. Would have been nice to have a microwave in the room as we brought leftover meals back each day. The bottom protector on the beds had holes in them which was tacky.

I would stay here again.
Location was good. Walkable to many restaurants.

Some problems with the bathroom drains
12 November 2024
We will definitely be staying here when we visit again!
The location was easy walking distance to Hancock Tower, Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Magnificent Mile. The staff were amazing and took time to give me directions and restaurant recommendations. The breakfast was excellent as well.
8 November 2024
The staff were warm, professional and friendly. The valet service returned my car in a timely manner
The breakfast was good. There were several options of protein, grains and fruit. The coffee was hot and plentiful. The location was fantastic. It was two blocks from my conference location and it was surrounded by a vibrant collection of others. There are plenty of shops and restaurants.
The breakfast room had music and tv playing. It was over stimulating at 6 am.

Absolutely exceptional.
This hotel was quite exceptional. It was very clean, the breakfast was spacious and full of options, and the staff went above and beyond. Every staff member we came in contact with was so friendly and helpful, especially the concierge, woman stocking the breakfast, Arthur and another young man whose began with the letter Y. I would definitely return to this location.
There was nothing I didn't like.
28 October 2024
It was a comfortable stay. No complaints.
Everyone was very helpful and polite.
27 October 2024
Super friendly and clean. Great location
The staff was super friendly.
I wish the lobby was friendlier, more welcoming. The highly overpriced snack/beverage area would not take cash.

Fabulous
Beautiful hotel in a great area! I would definitely stay here again. Room was big, breakfast was good and everything was super clean!
The price for parking is crazy but I guess it's typical for downtown Chicago. Hotel was already expensive then you add another $65 for parking. Again I think it's typical for downtown.

Friendly staff
The staff was amazing! Everyone was so friendly, which made our stay excellent. Good hotel breakfast. The hotel is located in a great area too. River North has such great food & drinks options, plus there is so much to do.

Staff and room were great. Breakfast was a little too cheap. Throw away cutlery and plates not a good look for the environment.
See above.

Hampton provided a great place for our family to connect. Not having to find breakfast each mornin
Breakfast offerings were fine. Appreciated the 24 hr tea & coffee etc
Upgrade the cutlery to stainless steel. Seriously plastic!

Nice.
Great location, very nice staff, pretty and comfortable room (but be ready, it's very loud!).
Terrible breakfast, everything in plastic, fake eggs. Some more fresh food and less plastic would be greatly appreciated.

Clean, great location, delicious breakfast. Special thanks to Bella at the front desk, she’s very friendly and pleasant.

Wonderful location, clean and modern facility, spacious rooms, and great restaurant.
Breakfast was as expected. Make the eggs more appealing and the entire breakfast will be enhanced.

Location was great. So was breakfast ! Great hotel
The only negative was the valet. It took us forever to find the valet when we arrived and then it took about 30 minutes or more for it to get our car when we left.
6 October 2024
Very good
The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Handy location for playing tourist in downtown Chicago.
The hotel is very near the fire station, so occasional awakenings by sirens in the night. Not much the hotel can do about that!

Staff could be friendlier.

Next door is a sports bar called the farm blares load music until 10-11pm Friday Saturday and Sunday! Music bounces off the building across the street right into the guest rooms! I encountered this on Sunday night!

No microwave, expensive parking
29 September 2024
Pretty decent stay for my conference. Close to shopping downtown and nice restaurants.
Comfort and ease of check in
There was hair in my bathroom and it was quite noisy at night but I knew that was due to being downtown and other guests. Not any fault of the hotel.
