“Wonderful customer service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

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. The location was perfect for walking to all the downtown attractions. - Would certianly stay again.

Room Tip: ask for an interior room- away from the fire station

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,

“Home base for Michigan Avenue Shopping”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

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. Michigan Avenue is just a few blocks away. One of our favorite restaurant groups is the Rosebud. The Rosebud Trattoria adjoins the hotel. Ruth's Chris steakhouse is also on the same block. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful which complement the convenient location. We plan to return next year.

Room Tip: Corner suites are very large, worth requesting.

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 Chicago’s own Rosebud Trattoria on the 1st floor of the hotel. My favorite dish is the 8 finger pasta with crumbled sausage; the pasta is made right here in Chicago & boy is it delicious!

We look forward to being home base for your family next year, we will see you then.

Graciously,

Ross Guthrie

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.

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 most recent rate shop of overnight valet rates of our competing hotels found the rates of: Hilton Garden Inn $49, Embassy Suites $49, Springhill Suites $50, Residence Inn $50, Westin $54. Therefore we pride ourselves in offering one of the best values for hotel valet parking at the current rate of $42 per night for our guests.

Leave your car at home again & come back to see us.

Graciously,

Ross Guthrie
