Hilton Chicago

6/10 Okay

"As soon as we walked in, we noticed the bathroom reeked of mildew. I assume it’s because there’s no actual working fan in the bathroom so the moisture just sits in there (the lack of AC probably doesn’t help anything). The air conditioning was set to 65 degrees when we got to the room but it was far warmer than that temperature. I don’t think the AC actually worked and the fan kept shutting off even though I had it on the manual “on” setting. The floor was … kind of gross. We had our dog who immediately started sniffing certain areas. I’m assuming because another dog’s scent was still in there. I sat on the floor a couple of times before realizing that it was fairly dusty and kind of dirty. The mini fridge would’ve been nice to have but it clearly also didn’t work well. It maybe got down to 50 degrees. I checked all the wires but gave up. The bed had a flat sheet instead of a fitted sheet on the bottom. That’s whatever. The duvet had no cover. There were simply just 2 flat sheets on both sides of it. The bed itself was absurdly soft to the point where you immediately sink in and not in a comfortable/good way. I got a $10 USD food/drink credit which basically amounted to 1 bottle of soda (priced at $7 USD) which was a perk, I suppose. This hotel wasn’t the worst but it wasn’t great, by any means. I’d try a different hotel if you can."

Congress Plaza Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Room was clean and staff was nice for the most part the bar staff seemed annoyed about us ordering and being there till 12am. The big issue with this place is the rooms themselves no water pressure and no working tv or fridge. Also would like to add you can tell their refurbishment was half done but the elevator is very fast the placement of hotel is awesome and security is good"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The bartenders were great. The rooftop bar is quaint and dark. Nice vibe. The hotel itself is tight, but it was in a perfect location to shopping on Michigan Avenue. Leo was great with valeting our car. It is also very close to the Northwestern Medical campus and the Children's Hospital. Overall, it was a good location for a short stay."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

2/10 Terrible

"It was our worst stay . Room was filthy . Sofa /couch had urine marks . I have photographs . They did not clean rooms for 2 days . Towels were not replaced. Staff asked to see them in person to collect towels . Telephone call were not picked or answered ."
