Pros:

The property was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside is that it’s a bit far from downtown Chicago, so getting to the main attractions takes some time approximately an hour. They offer complimentary breakfast each morning, which is decent but fairly basic. If you’re vegetarian, the breakfast options are quite limited. Overall, it’s a good place to stay if you don’t mind being a little outside the city center.

Great Room, Amenities and Easy Access to Hospital
Pros:

Needed to book two rooms for our son’s surgery at Central DuPage County Hospital (Northwestern) -his room for one night and ours for two nights. Both rooms had been nicely remodeled and were very comfortable. Did not get a chance to enjoy some of the amenities as both days were extremely long at the hospital . This is a great choice if needing to access the hospital-10 minutes away and an easy route. Juliet was especially wonderful while booking our rooms. Will need to be going back for itional surgeries and will definitely sit here.

Horrible
Pros:

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at the Hampton Inn in Carol Stream.

For a hotel charging approximately $250 per night, the level of customer service is unacceptable. There was no one at the front desk when I needed assistance, and no one answered the phone despite my calling repeatedly for about 20 minutes from two different phones.

To make matters worse, my room was never cleaned during my stay, and the television does not work—it only displays “No Signal.” At this price point, these are basic services and amenities that guests should be able to expect.

Guests should not have to search for staff or be left without any way to get help. This experience has been frustrating and does not reflect the standards I expect from a Hampton Inn. I would not recommend this hotel unless these serious customer service and maintenance issues are addressed.

Down and Out at the Hampton Inn, Carol Stream
Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

1. The in room furniture was ugly and uncomfortable. It's obvious that they bought the cheapest possible.
2. The room keys kept getting erased. My party had 4 rooms
. Everyone of us, as well as other guests, had to repeatedly go back to the front desk for new key cards.
They told us to keep the key card away from our cellphone. I don't think the cellphone had anything to do with the problem.
3. No one attended the room where breakfast was given. Dirty tables. Styrofoam plates, plastic cutlery. Once again, the cheapest service possible.

Worth it if location and if nothing else is available in the area but if you got a choice move on.
Pros:

Room was perfect, the hotel not so much.

Cons:

Main lobby under construction. What a mess. Facility didn’t feel welcoming whatsoever. For now for the price I’d go somewhere else.

Poor experience
Pros:

Tv not working, phone not working to notify front desk so had to keep going down to find someone. Front desk person came up and she could not figure it out. Said phone and tv needed to be reprogrammed and someone would come in the morning. No one ever came. Also only decaf coffee available when went down for breakfast at 9:30. Was told it would go till 9:45. Room was great otherwise. Seem short staffed tho as several times had to go looking for front desk person.
