4.0 Mediocre
Beautiful building. Upon arrival was told of $25 extra fee per day because it was an historic site. Had to pay another extra $25 per day because the reservation was not for the requested two beds. Have not been refunded the remainder of an additional amount of a $100 required deposit that wad unused.

10.0 Wonderful
The security staff on Friday night (Aug 30) was great. They gave me the feeling that things were safe but were not obtrusive. They happily answered questions and were friendly. However you could also see they took their job seriously. Two gentlemen deserve a raise. The staff at the Hilton honors desk was also very friendly. Happy to share suggestions about the hotel.

2.0 Poor
Check in can take over an hour. Rooms are very small. Operator and front desk don’t answer calls later in the evening. you’ll find more hospitality at the DMV

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.
