10.0 Wonderful
For the price, location, and history, it was fantastic. Mattresses could be updated, but everything was clean and the staff was polite and helpful. We enjoyed the gorgeous lobby and bar every evening and downstairs Starbucks lower level. A real gift to Chicago.

6.0 Okay
I love an old hotel, but this one needs a refresh. My room was dark, had peeling wallpaper and poorly patched plaster, and no coffee maker. Basic amenities (coffee in the room or available in the lounge/lobby; early/late check-in) were only available for an extra charge. I couldn’t find a room service menu, if that was even available. There were multiple loud families on my floor - as a mom, I’m sympathetic, but we paid to be on the executive floors intended for business travelers. It all made jet lag and early meetings more difficult for our team. The staff were kind, but clearly struggling to get staffing levels back where they need to be for such a large hotel. I’ll skip this one on my next trip to Chicago, until it gets some rehab.

5.9 Fair
This was our 4th time staying at this formerly grand hotel, and I’m afraid it will be our last. Services at the hotel have been scaled back to a point that is a bit embarrassing and it’s not just the post-pandemic version. In the middle of our stay in Feb 2019 we had room service available on Day 1, then poof it was discontinued on Day 2, never to return. We thought we were in the Twilight zone. The room we had this time had wallpaper peeling, hot water in the showers that was intermittent and a refrigerator that kept your items at a not very refrigerator-like 70 degrees. Anyway Hilton has let this once proud building lapse into irrelevancy and it’s a shame.

8.8 Very good
Pros:When I called for help with the Internet, I quickly received explicit instructions how to fix the problem. After I thanked them and hung up, I followed the directions and it worked immediately. 5 minutes later, the person who had helped me called me back to make sure I was able to solve the problem. That has NEVER happened to me in 40 years of travel. Extraordinary service that made a HUGE positive impression on me.
Cons:The electronic pad in the room which offered a lot of information about the hotel and the neighborhood did not work when I tried to use it....probably because the hotel’s systems had gone down a few hours before we checked in. It worked the following morning. The Check-in lines were very long, but moved fairly quickly and staff did a good job handling it. This was nobody’s fault.
P
4.8 Mediocre
Cons:Old rooms with unreliable HVAC systems. AC stuck at 65*F and had a freezing stay. Guest hotline a joke. Service engineer nice but basically told me at 10pm that the room would take hours to earm up to 70 degrees.
A
9.4 Wonderful
Pros:Amazing location and historic facility. The room was comfortable and well appointed, even if some of the features were a bit dated.
Cons:Some of the details were a bit dated (limited elevator services to various floors), and a large hotel can mean a long walk to your room, but we still loved it!
A
4.0 Mediocre
Pros:Lobby
Cons:The room was not want I expected for a 4 star hotel. My room gave the impression of a neglected hotel. By chance I looked behind the tv stand and found a mountain of dust, dirt and debris. The bathroom was uninviting at best. On one day of my stay house keeping did not clean my room. I will not book this hotel in the future.
J
8.5 Very good
Pros:Location was excellent. Staff very kind and attentive, specially the concierge.
Cons:The mattress is kind of soft. Lines in the reception are a bit chaotic. The lobby is spectacular but the seating is not very inviting.
A
9.7 Wonderful
Pros:Over all convenience
Cons:No coffee in the Room
