Excellent Hotel!

The Chicago Hilton was beyond lovely. It is a historical place with modern amenities. We walked to all the museums and took inexpensive cab rides to recommended restaurants. The staff was great in helping with these recommendations. I recommend a lake view - it was worth the added expense. Make sure you check out the hotel museum and the Grand Ballroom. It was like a trip to Versailles!
Pay for EVERYTHING

We stayed at this Hilton for the Cubs Convention that was being held there. We were more than willing to pay the price to stay in the Hilton...we understand it is a high end hotel. However, the extra costs that were thrown in here and there were ridiculout. Everything come at a cost: an hour early checkout, bag storage for us to go to lunch in the hotel.
On top of all the extra fees, the elevators were beyond slow. There were times that waited 10+ minutes to go down to the lobby. We were on the 16th floor and contiplated taking the stairs on numerous occasions. It was a common complaint of other guests as well.
The rooms were nice but not worth the extra fees and waits that came with it. You can find a nicer hotel at a much more reasonable price.

Our room was absolutly beautiful, two bathrooms in addition to the two beds we were expecting! Service was friendly and prompt. We used the concierge service constantly for bus, train and generally getting around. Alwasy cheerful. Would stay there again, and recommend it.
Beautiful Hotel

The hotel was in a good location, although South of where I spent the majoritiy of my time. It was beautiful and very clean in the room and all other areas I encountered. The only issue I had was that the beds consist of fleather pillows and comforter which my friend who I was with is allergic to. We attempted to call housekeeping, guest services over the course of 15 min without anyone answering the phone to assist us with changing out these items. Once someone did pick up the phone we were told they would be right up to the room, we waitied another 20-30 min. We had to call again for them to come up, but this time they arrived in about 5 min. The L is only about 4 blocks from the hotel which makes it very convienent, especially in bad weather. The buffet breakfast was very good but extremely overpriced.
