Friendly Staff

the staff were nice & very helpful. we weren't able to check in earlier due to a concert, so we called & notified the staff that we might show up past the time slot of check in. they were understanding & made sure other staff were notified of the delay. i also enjoyed the breakfast options & the 24/7 snack area.

Best stay, service and location.

Room, location, breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Front desk, valets, breakfast area attendants were all exceptional. We felt pampered and totally loved it!

That our stay was only 3 nights. We could have stayed a week. Great room/suite and totally pet friendly facility.

We stayed in the king suite room and unfortunately we could hear everything that was saying next door. Somehow we had a door that was divided our suite and other one.

Great place to stay while visiting Chicago!

Front Desk information about area was great. Location to transit, attractions and restaurants excellent. Breakfast great and always replenished as needed. Pool was clean and warm enough for use.

We knew we were near a fire station but it wasn't so bad - maybe mention that in the description of the area.

Hampton Inn & Suites River North in downtown Chicago is a good central place to anchor for a weekend visit.

Loved the location near my friends in River North, and nearby food and store offerings. Walking distance to Michigan Avenue and the lakeshore.

Was a little higher cost, probably due to summer prices.

Everything

Only thing we didn't like, we asked the cleaning staff for a toilet paper, she said she couldn't give us one, the reason we asked her, my son was sick and stayed at the room that day, so they couldn't clean the room, so we ran out of toilet paper, other than that, everything was excellent.

Excellent rooms, enjoyable breakfast, convenient location, helpful staff.

The receptionist at arrival went above and beyond, really friendly and helpful. All the other staff I interacted with, be it the housekeepers, breakfast staff, as well as the other receptionists were also excellent. The area is nice and location is very convenient, close to Navy Pier, the Bean/Art Institute, and public transportation. The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was enjoyable, I liked the fresh self-made waffles and the coffee was excellent. Finally, the hotel has a pool that's on the small side, but enjoyable. A sauna/stream room would really enhance the pool/gym area if the hotel decided to add that feature. Overall, I'd recommend the hotel with confidence.

While the breakfast was ultimately good and enjoyable, there were some items missing that one would expect to see at a good hotel such as bacon, ham, cheese, more than one type of bagel and bread, more pastries than just one type of muffin. Without these items, breakfast turns into a very sugar-high affair, which really isn't optimal if one is staying longer than a couple of days.

Our stay was comfortable and the location was very good.

It was located in an area that we were able to walk to many of our planned destinations.

There is nothing we didn’t like about the property.

Great hotel, great location!

Everything, the receptionist was very nice and welcoming. Rooms are very nice, good orginized. Breakfast is ussual as in every hotel in US- bad! Come on US, you can do better. Pool is very nice, gym small but you have everything. Clean rooms. It’s just a good hotel.

Valet was bad except the last night. I was going early out and you could not reach them, they say 15 min, it is 25. Don’t bother. The night before the check out one guy was really professional !

Good place to stay for two, three days.

I liked hotel location.

Hotel is near fire station and, naturally, station's operation impacts noise level around the hotel. I think that breakfest was a bit too 'poor', It missed a bit more variety, but perhaps I am spoiled by European hotels.

We had the king suite and it was perfect for 3 adults. The pull out couch was in need of a new mattress. A bit lumpy. Location was perfect to walk to all areas. There is a rather busy CFD station a block over. Sirens often at night. There is a GREAT Italian restaurant that joins the lobby.

The hot breakfast food ( eggs, potatoes and meat) was not very hood. The layout could also be improved to minimize congestion, especially around the waffles and toaster.

Great value for the price. I'll be back again!

Spacious with refrigerator and microwave. Corner suite with a decent view. Great location and delicious breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful when I needed more blankets. The pool and lounging patio was nice

The only downside is the fire department across the street. But I only woke during the first night. I think I must've adjusted after that.

Excellent location and plenty of space for families or groups.

The size of the room was a bonus and the number of beds was the main reason we chose this hotel. The location was central so we walked to most attractions. The rooms was updated and had a small kitchen with fridge.

Breakfast was disappointing with long queues and a very limited range. It did not match the pictures advertising it!

loved the breakfast.

Charged me in case of damages while I stayed there, then refunded it when I didn't damage the place. Why do you need to do that? Also charged me for valet when I didn't use it, I had to call and get that charge removed.

we all had a really good stay, I definitely enjoyed it and so did my kids in my friend came with us

The room was always kept clean and plenty of amenities

Workout room was pretty dirty and pieces were beat up. Like duct tape was used on the cable machine. I'm biased because I manage a gym.

It has a great location, good access to the subway, and good restaurants and jazz and blues clubs in the neighbourhood> the river is just a few blocks from the hotel. Spacious room, nice bathroom.

Typical American breakfast which, in my opinion, lacks fresh vegetables. Otherwise perfect place

Breakfast was great! Room was great. Elevator speed was great. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility!

It was so incredibly crowded due to spring break. Wow everything was overwhelming. We would have picked a different hotel that accommodated fewer people had we known. Breakfast lines were long and the pool was absolutely unsafe at night due to the number of people swimming at once.

The staff was super duper nice, the room was overall very clean. The breakfast was awesome and pool was perfect. Loved being able to walk everywhere.

The rooms were a little run down, cracks in the ceilings etc. When we turned on bathroom sink a huge glob of gunk and hair flew out onto my daughter’s toothbrush so that was pretty gross.
