Hampton Inn Chicago McCormick Place

Indoor pool and skybridge access to McCormick Place are highlights, with an on-site Starbucks and rooftop bar adding convenience. Parking is available but widely reported as expensive; occasional elevator issues and pool crowding or closures appear in some stays.

Many guests found rooms and common areas clean, with housekeeping praised. However, some reported mold or odors, missed or inconsistent cleaning, and a few more serious lapses like dirty bathrooms or leftover items.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, with some high floors offering nice views; many mention comfortable beds, though pillows or mattresses can be hit-or-miss. Noise and amenity trade-offs show up at times (thin walls or traffic, weak shower pressure, loud HVAC, limited storage, and no microwave or safe in some rooms), and Wi-Fi can be spotty.

Service is widely praised as friendly and helpful across the front desk, housekeeping, and breakfast teams, with several staff going above and beyond. That said, guests report periodic check-in delays or early check-in fees, difficulty reaching the front desk by phone, and occasional miscommunications or rudeness.

Location is convenient for McCormick Place, Wintrust Arena, Soldier Field, and access to Chinatown and train lines; many guests walked to events and felt safe. A few noted the immediate area is just okay or less lively than downtown.

Complimentary breakfast is frequently described as good with a wide variety, though at busy times it can feel crowded, basic, or run short on items. On-site options like a Starbucks and a rooftop bar or restaurant add convenience.
