What guests think

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/N Loop/Michigan Ave earns praise for its central, walkable location and friendly staff, but reviews are mixed on room size, noise, and maintenance, with recurring comments about HVAC problems and housekeeping not arriving during multi-night stays.

Many highlight the building’s Art Deco lobby, secure elevator access, and a complimentary breakfast that several guests enjoyed. On the downside, the lobby bar is frequently closed, parking is off-site and costly, and a few stays were disrupted by elevator outages or booking and relocation problems. Overall, it suits travelers who prioritize location and value over flawless comfort.

The front desk was amazing, check-in was quick and easy. We used the hotel recommended lot across the street but the hotel gave us the wrong price for “self park” so we ended up paying more than we were expecting. The room was small and looked quite dated. The A/C - Heater was very noisy. Whenever it would kick on, it sounded like a small plane was taking off. Not real conducive for a good night sleep. The toilet blocked up, but soon fixed itself. I’d called the desk to report the blockage, and called back when it cleared itself. They still sent someone to double check and make sure all was well, so that was good. It was a great location for the things we did and the places we went on our short trip to the city. We never stopped in the lobby for breakfast, so no comments there. It was nice to have a microwave in the lobby to heat up some pecan rolls we’d brought from our local bakery, but it would have been even nicer to have a small microwave IN the room like most hotels do these days. The beds and pillows were comfortable - but still didn’t get much sleep because,of the constant noise.

It was very clean but always so hot in the lobby and hallway. The gym was a joke it was just a couple of treadmills. I was on the 9th floor and everything from outside was still sooooo loud, it didn’t help that the AC in my room whined kinda loud all night. The breakfast was decent and it was close to get to sites.

It was okay but for the price it could have had a better complementary breakfast. Also they said, the bar was under construction, even though there was nothing being done to it and there’s bottles of alcohol. They just didn’t wanna make it, but you could get a beer if you wanted.

When checking in, it took almost 10 minutes for someone to come to the desk to help us. Therr appeared to be only one front desk check in attendant which I think it’s interesting at a large hotel especially on a Friday. It was also disappointing to see the bar was not open and if it was there was no bartender present to make it even look like it was open to serving.

This property was in the perfect location for us to be able to walk to the area attractions such as restraunts, the Sears Tower, magnificent mile, the John Hancock Center, and Mellinium park. The room we had with a view of the river made our stay even better. The hotel was very clean and maintained, and we absolutely loved being able to mirror or streaming services from my phone to the television. The breakfast was absolutely amazing and one of the best that we've had at any hotel anywhere. Our only problem was the parking situation, especially with a full sized truck with topper that wouldnt fit into any of the garages except the one across the street ($140 for 2 nights and no in and out).

Our room filthy. We started to notice small things as our stay continued. The shower curtain was stained. The bed skirts were stained. The bed frame had Frozen stickers all over. The cabinet that held the fridge was covered in sticky stuff. The fridge itself was barely cold. The worst was the shower head covered in pink mold. I told the front desk person at check out and she proceed to tell me had I told her 5 seconds earlier that should she would have given me a discount but she had already pressed the check out button and didn't want to get a manager to refund it. I wasn't even looking for a discount and wanted to make sure the room got a deep clean.

The hotel was okay for staying here for 3 days however we were given a room that did not have a very clean bathroom there was mold and mildew in the shower along with poor water pressure which was very annoying. And a bathroom door that had to be forced closed and did not have a working lock. TV did not connect to share play and was overall a very tight small room with not a lot of places to store clothes out of the walking area. Not really anything other than a small gym in this hotel and the bar was closed the majority of the time. Confusing area for drivers with 2 hotels was hard to distinguish between which places were. However area was right next to the riverwalk lots of places to eat within walking distance and complimentary breakfast was great and the staff was great.

The hotel itself was superb. Great location in Chicago room is comfortable. I wish you happened when we arrived in the room and discovered a bag between the bed and the window which contained a half feet and chicken. I took it down to reception and they were not very responsive and the female staff member just stared at me. I asked her to take it and told her I was not impressed which she did and then she stated that she would get the supervisor to contact me regarding this issue which I never receive contact over the three days over there. Other staff, particularly a young gentleman who was behind the counter in reception on the days following was absolutely spectacular friendly helpful accredited to your hotel Another minor issue was the fact that the shower/bath did not drain very well and would constantly fill up while showering

The hotel's location is perfect, you're very close to absolutely everything, it's an excellent choice. The included breakfast is very good and convenient if you want to make the most of your travel time. The room is spacious and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. We received the room very clean, but unfortunately, we stayed three nights and never received housekeeping service. We mentioned it on the first day at the front desk, and they said they would do it that day, but it didn't happen. The water in the shower didn't drain for 20 minutes or more, which was very unpleasant if you are sharing a bathroom with other people. The iron didn't heat up, so we had to ask for it to be replaced, and they kindly did so, but this was not the case with the hair dryer, which we also asked to be replaced but never received. Overall, these are situations that can be improved because we love the hotel and its breakfast, but not having our room cleaned on any of the three days did ruin the experience a bit. However, I would stay at this hotel again. I highly recommend it, just keep in mind that to have your room cleaned, you will probably have to insist quite a bit at the front desk.

When I checked in I was told we had two rooms, although we had only reserved one, and that everything was already payed for, that we didn't need to worry. When we checked out we were charged for the additional "already payed for" room. The hotel told me they couldn't do anything about it and that I should contact Orbitz, even though I had told them the original reservation was for only one room and that everything was payed for already. They won't refund me for what they said it was already paid. On top of that, they said they would clean up the room every other day, but the never did. Even worse, we found someone else's sock in the room! I don't think they actually do any cleaning. The hallway smelled like trash and I saw a huge trash bag next to another room and took at least one day for it to be picked up.

We had no soap, toilet paper, or shower gel and the toilet did not work. Toilet was repaired but still did not flush properly. We could only access WiFi the whole time we were there. The business center had 2 computers but one was off and the other not set up yet. I had to leave the hotel to work, which made my stay at the hotel pointless. The staff was apologetic saying the issue was Hilton wide and out of their hands but offered no solutions. I will log stay here again, though the location is great and staff was lovely. Not being able to work cost me money, which is unacceptable. I’ve never had issues at Hilton hotels but if the euro is not guaranteed I will not be back

Our first night we were on the second floor city view room and did not sleep at all. There seemed to be a street party outside on the street Thursday night that made it sound like we were in the middle of a hip hop club until 3 am. The room seemed to have a missing mirror in the bathroom which made it difficult to get ready as well. The next morning I spoke with the front desk, (which I think the woman's name was Vee), and she was SO helpful and understanding. We were moved up to the 10th floor which was a much nicer room, very quiet and beds were much more comfortable. Very pleased and slept like a rock! Very appreciative of the service given to my self and my daughters. The breakfast had many options to choose from and was very good! The location is absolutely perfect for close access to the BigBus transportation and only a $10 ride to the Navy Pier. I got up early one morning and walked right around the corner to walk the River Walk before everyone else in the room woke up which was just beautiful. We checked out on Saturday and the front desk were more than happy to keep our bags for us until we were ready to leave. I did find parking cheaper through spot here just a block over which was easily accessible and safe. Overall great trip!

I don't recommend booking at the Hampton Inn. They will not hold your "reservation" if it means they can fill up the hotel before you show up.

VERY noisy at night however if you have windows on a lower floor (we were on 6). Windows are either not soundproofed, or the car noise is just that loud. Woken up multiple times overnight by street racing and people revving their engines and sirens.

Was a little upset with the breakfast buffet on Sunday Morning. We were there for breakfast the day before and it was ok, not great, but ok. We were checking out on Sunday morning, so we took our time getting to breakfast. It was supposed to be served from 6 to 10 AM. We got to breakfast at 9:20, most the food was gone. They took the cold yogurt away, there were no potatoes, only a few eggs, and sausage you could make waffles. There were no bagels or bread to toast and the muffins were gone. I really think the breakfast should have been stocked on a Sunday when people are taking their time and packing up.
