Amazing hotel, but the elevators need work.
The cleanliness and their breakfast 😮💨🔥
There are 3 elevator doors in each floor. Apparently, only one of those elevators were working. We waited for so long to go to the main floor due to the high volume of people checking out . Which, we completely understand. But then, while we waited, the elevator stopped working 🙄 we had to go down the stairs and so many people struggled, due to their luggages.

Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Convenient location with many restaurants nearby. Breakfast and pool opened early, which suited our schedule. The breakfast area was kept clean and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed.
We would have appreciated some healthier options at the breakfast, like more fresh fruit and plain yogurt.

Does the job
Good value for money, spacious rooms, nice views, convinient location
A bit dated here and there, don’t expect too much of the breakfast

Perfect location for dining at “Mastro’s”, which was our choice…
Location: walking distance to “Mastro’s”, the restaurant of our choice…
Very expensive parking options, valet or self-parking…

Convenient location at a good value that is perfect for a short stay in the city.
The 2 queen bed suite was great and the kids had plenty of extra room so it didn’t feel cramped during the time spent in the room. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

I had a really great time, and breakfast was great!

Kids in the pool when I would like to have relaxed by the pool but I know the hotel can not do anything about that

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
