![]() *Rates in October for this room seem to run $467.31 - $556.54/night on a Friday & Saturday. No pool Would I recommend/stay again? Not likely for full price if paying cash* (vs points).Note: You can not use the Kimpton $30 spa credit as the hotel contracts out their spa services.We especially loved being able to contact the team via text! Super convenient. Thankfully, a front desk rep allowed us to grab $20 worth of snacks. 39 on Saturday at 8:30 PM, but the bar was also closed. We tried to use our $20 raid-the-bar credit at Vol. Boleo was closed both evenings for private events, so we could not check-out or enjoy the rooftop bar.TV: Average no movie channels that I recall.The hotel does appear to host a lot of events, so there were a few loud guests walking the halls late at night. ![]() I did like the accent wall behind the tub though. A bit tattered around some edges (see photo of mini fridge). I also requested a freshen up the next day. I called housekeeping upon arrival to request the team vacuum our room & wipe down surfaces. Bed: Bed & pillows both very comfortable.Bath: Plenty of hot water & decent pressure.You can request a microwave be delivered to your room free of charge. Amenities: Coffee maker & mini refrigerator.I appreciated the welcome amenity of Acqua Panna Natural Spring Waters & dark chocolate w/ sea salt.

If I am in this part of Chicago again I would definitely stay here! Thanks and keep up the good work! The orange line is only 1 block away right across from Giordanos and it takes you to Midway Airport in less than 30 minutes. I had the Italian beef sandwich add cheese and it was amazing! It's right across the street. The closest restaurant that was open past 6pm was Giordanos. The area is kind of quiet at night since it's a business district but the good thing about that is that it's quiet at night and right next door to the Willis Tower aka ”Sears Tower!” I highly recommend a visit up to the 360 observation deck. Microwave and fridge were very convenient. Angela the manager was nice enough to send me a text to ask if everything was ok! That is service above and beyond what is expected! Kudos to her great customer service! The King deluxe city view room was huge! it felt like more like being in an apartment. Be sure to push hard on the door to open your room since it's a new door it's still kinda stiff no big deal but I figured it out!

I stayed here for one night using 50,000 H Honors rewards and loved it. This hotel is not cheap and you are paying for the location but if you have the budget for it, I would recommend staying here. During the day, security was present but I didn’t notice any at night. There was a transient walking around the street in front and was border line harassing us and others. Cons: Besides the check-in process, the only other thing I can mention is the security at night time can be beefed up. Only knock is the lady who checked us in didn’t acknowledge our Hilton Honors status. Pros: Pretty good location as there’s a starbucks located in the lobby and a few restaurants/bars next door. ![]() Even though they are next to each other, expect yourself to walk 20-25 minutes from one place to the other.
