    It was very noisy at all times of the day and night. You could hear people's conversations. Lots of loud bumps and thumps.

    The room was very clean and organized. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were perfect! The a/c worked amazing! Even the hallways were nice and cool.

    There water bottles in the room were not complimentary and it was hard to determine if there was a water bottle refill station on the floor

    The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and the shower was nice, hot with good pressure.

    They didn't have any breakfast and we had ants in the room. They could have better pillows and food for the money we spend.

    It was in a nice location we could get to anywhere in the city. All the staff was very friendly and housekeeping was very nice.

    We can hear people talking from the other room via the shared door. With family it’s fine but with strangers.. Bad water taste from the sink but thanks to the drinking fountain in the hall it was manageable

    Really good position in Chicago, and the pool is a plus !

    No complimentary water inside the room (unless if you are a Hilton member). You have to pay 3 dollars for one. Parking a tad expensive, cheaper options only a block away.

    Clean, spacious rooms, nice bathroom, well equipped inside. small store downstairs very convenient for us as we arrived very late and all the stores were closed, great variety of food and drinks available 24/7

    The room was a bit small, the parking was expensive but we expected this since the location was right in the city.

    The location was excellent! Walking distance to most of the sights in the city. The room was nice and clean.

    The price for water in the lobby shop was ridiculous and a rip off to tired arriving guests. It is a bit uncomfortable regarding privacy that there is a (locked) door to the neighboring room where strangers reside.

    It is a really good hotel, well placed with a subway station directly next to the entrance door. The city can also easily be explored by walking. Staff was friendlich and helpful, the room was really big.

    The only suggestion I’d make is to consider housekeeping on alternate days instead of daily, which would be more practical and sustainable.

    Had a great stay at Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown. The location is excellent—right in the middle of everything! Millennium Park, the waterfront, and even Gino’s East for that famous deep-dish pizza are all just a short walk away. Overall, a very convenient and comfortable stay!

    I am not a frequent traveler to Chicago. I didn’t realize how far it actually was from Michigan Ave. I would have preferred to have been closer.

    Very clean. Bed was comfortable. Up to date. Location was not too far from Michigan Ave.

    A couple of negatives- when they do your room every other day, they don’t leave enough toilet paper or tissue paper. There was four of us and we had to call a couple of times to get more toilet paper and also to have a fourth towel delivered. Many times the guest services phone was not answered. The location is great -obviously in the touristy part of town if that’s what you want. The lobby is really tiny and there aren’t many places to sit. We did try the breakfast one day and one thing I noted that was negative was the plates that were put out did not look very clean. Another just commented about the same thing. I would opt for an Airbnb in the future in a real neighborhood.as these rooms are very tight and there are no additional benefits.

    The location of the property was nice.

    Charging for bottles of water in the room. $3 for water. It should be complimentary or don’t leave any. If you are only cleaning the room every other day please leave enough coffee pods for a couple of days.

    Great location. Close to everything. Staff were very polite. Room was very clean.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean and the shower did not clog which is always a plus. Best of all was location! We could walk everywhere, and the Red Line is right next to the entrance. Everything is within walking distance (including main tourist spots and famous restaurants). The bathrooms in the lobby were very clean and the staff helping with the suitcases was very nice.
