Quality stay for the money. Great for families. Good location in downtown Chicago.
Location was great! Staff very friendly and helpful! Breakfast typical and perfect for family.
Bathroom shower showing signs of mold and could use some new caulking. Can tell it’s an older building with remodel. Overall, great place! We would stay there again.

Very clean. Friendly staff that will make you want to come back.
The staff was always friendly. They gave good recommendations and always had nice conversations.
Pool was decent but no towels when we went. Facial tissue in the room is very harsh on the nose.

Short and sweet with the best staff in many years of travel.
Location and esthetic were great, but the staff was one of the best in recent years (actually since Covid)! Having years of experience in hospitality and hotels myself, I don’t find much intriguing or appealing about the modern day status quo of the hospitality industry. This was a major breath of fresh air and thank you to all of you for making the stay what it was.
Bed is 5/10 but a very clean hotel and room, nonetheless.

Great place to stay.
The room was beautiful.... clean and with everything we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed the stay. The hotel is close to everything...... restaurants, shopping, public transport, the river.

Celebrated my 29th Birthday in Chicago. Very close to main places you need to go when visiting. Max 10/15 mins walki
Everything was amazing, from the gym, the pool, the comfort of the bed, had to request extra pillows made it even more relaxing. The room is has good enough space, the view was amazing. They had coffee and hot drinks refilled through the day. Staff were amazing, very helpful with food. Very clean.
I don’t want to say what I didn’t like about the property but what could be improved the breakfast wasn’t for me as there wasn’t a range of fruits or other dietary requirements for someone who has personal health issues. For someone who can eat everything and anything the breakfast is good. As there is a swimming pool they don’t provide robes to go down or slippers. Just bear in mind, this didn’t affect me but you are near a fire station so it’s a lot of noise during the day and night.

Location, staff assistance, housekeeping services, and atmosphere. Enjoyed the spacious suite and view from the higher floor. Liked the security of the hotel and elevator keypad to access floor. Also, parking validation.
No fan in the bathroom for moisture control. Toilet handle had issues making water ran continuously.

Great room. Great location. Great price
The rooms were very nice and clean. I especially liked having the living area in a separate room from the bed. the room felt more like a comfortable apartment than a hotel. It would be an ideal hotel room for an extended stay. It had a desk, a buffet area, a sofa, a TV. plenty of comfortable areas to work and take calls or relax after a night of fun

We didn’t get to experience the pool and the parking system sucks. As much as we pay to stay. Parking should be cheaper

Very friendly staff, great location, and a clean hotel. It’s within a 20-minute walk of many attractions, so you don’t need to spend much money on transportation.
The breakfast is decent, but the selection is limited.

Noisy (fire station, but also noises coming from the bathroom). Breakfast quality could be improved. Real tableware would be appreciated instead of disposable.

Well, run Hampton, nice location, worth the stay.
The property was located in a great spot, the staff were responsive, and the hotel was well run. Again the staff, or excellent from the front desk to the housekeepers and houseman.
Unfortunately, the pool was not open during our stay. Which was one of the reasons we booked the hotel. It wasn’t a significant damper in our state, but it was a disappointment.

Overall, a very pleasant stay.
Everything at the hotel was great. The location is excellent, and the front office staff were very professional, friendly, and welcoming. The hotel was very clean, and everything was well organized. Overall, a very pleasant stay.
