The Hampton inn & suites have never disappointed me. I was not disappointed with my stay in the downtown Chicago location. It was convenient to many local tourist spots. It's within walking distance to shopping and fine dining. My stay was for pleasure- visiting home after many years away. However there were many business travelers here as well. The decor... More

Hollywood68, I am so glad that you were able to take advantage of our great location in River North. What fine dining restaurants did you get to experience? I definitely understand the expense of parking. We pride ourselves in offering one of the best values for hotel valet parking in the area. Parking in a dense urban area like downtown... More

This was my first stay at the downtown Hampton Inn & Suites but it won't be my last. Have been a guest at many Chicago hotels and experienced something wrong with every one of them -- even some that were way upscale. But this place was just right. My room, a King with wet bar, was modern, spacious, clean, and... More

erster, Thanks you for your recent review of the hotel. I am so happy that you found such comfort at our hotel. You stayed in a great room, the King with Wetbar: these a bit upgraded compared to our standard rooms in that they offer a bit extra space & a wetbar with a minifridge & microwave. These are usually... More

Recently stayed here and LOVED it. The staff were over the top friendly and helpful. Clean and elegant common areas and rooms. The breakfast was great and a nice perk. The sirens can be annoying, but didn't at all diminish the quality of our stay- but you need to be aware going in- we packed earplugs and had no issues.... More

Taedaly, You are a savvy traveler earplugs already packed at the ready. For those of those not as well prepared as you, we always have complimentary earplugs available at the front desk. Glad that you were able to walk everyone that you needed. We look forward to having you back the next time you are visiting Chicago! Graciously, Ross Guthrie... More

We have been visiting Chicago between Thanksgiving and Christmas for years, enjoying the shopping and decorations of Michigan Avenue and steak dinners. The Hampton Inn and Suites is as reasonably priced as any during this season now that we're not on a business expense account, with large clean suites, free WiFi and plenty of elbow room to store purchases.

HerschelChester, Thanks you for your recent review of the hotel. I am so glad that we were your “home base” for holiday shopping on the Magnificent Mile. Like you, so many of our guests love having Michigan Ave just a 3 ½ block walk from the front door of our hotel. I am also glad that you got to enjoy... More

Very nice rooms, free Internet, free hot breakfast, within walking distance from sights such as river cruises, Millenium Park, Museums, Michigan Ave, wonderful restaurants. Easy to get to by train from either airport. Don't rent a car. $40 a day for parking. Use public transportation. More

spikeSanDiego, I am glad that you were able to experience the true Chicago experience without the burden of a car. Public transit is so plentiful & easy to use, you don’t even need a car! While many other hotels raised their parking rates in 2012, we are proud to have kept our 2011 rate all the way through 2012. Our... More

We had a great stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because I believe that's the level of hotel it is. Even though its very clean and newly renovated it doesn't compete with a luxury level. I would still highly recommend it! We had a suite with a full kitchen,... More

The hotel is dated and the rooms show it somewhat. There is a firestation nearby which caused interrupted sleep. Front desk people were smiling all the time! A fun hotel at a good location if you're in town to have a good time. If it's for business, you may lose sleep because of internal and external noise. More

This large downtown hotel is in an excellent, central location, and is well run and warmly midwestern. Staff was expertly trained and uniformly welcoming, rooms were clean, and the service desk responded so quickly to a problem with our shower that I barely had time to get dressed before the workman arrived! Breakfast was excellent, stocked continuously and served in... More
