Cons:

Unfortunately I had a terrible experience trying to get a room with Booking.com. The hotel was nice over the phone but could not find my reservation. Booking should have taken care of this after multiple calls and concerns, but they did not :(. I really wanted to stay here. The hotel front desk was accommodating it was all on booking.com that I had issues.

I’d book again and recommend to friends and family.
Pros:

The view I had from the 29th floor. The corner room was lovely. The bed and the shower in the bathroom was lovely. All of the room cleaners deserve at least a 2.50 raise. The rooms were clean

Cons:

There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about the property.

prima
Pros:

South loop is prima locatie. Zowel naar downtown als naar buitenwijken. Eten en drinken in de buurt. Veilig.

Cons:

Alleen (duur) valet parkeren, als je de buurt niet kent lastig uitzoeken waar je dan kunt parkeren.

Good value good location just some quirks
Pros:

Clean close to everything,

Cons:

Well the phone in our room
Didn't work which was a problem ring they told us to call down to the valet to get out car so we had to wait excessively to retrieve our car from the garage, the cleaning service only came every other day to tidy up but there where only towels for one days worth of showers, and the one lady at checkout was a little rude

Ok for a night or two
Pros:

The location is ideal for the museums, they are only a short walk away and this is why we chose this hotel. The rooms were nice and big but ours did smell a bit funny.

There is a valet, I booked in advance and the price came down to 50 a night. It was a bit slow so do plan on some extra time.

The shop in the hotel wasn’t very well stocked

Glorious views and a beautiful location.
Pros:

Convenient for the museums and galleries. A 25 minute pleasant walk to the riverfront along the park. We had a corner room at the front so a super view to the lake.

Cons:

Towels only changed every 2 days.

No response, no investigation, no accountability
Pros:

My experience with this property was extremely disappointing from a service and accountability standpoint.
After leaving a high-value electronic device in my room, the hotel failed to follow basic lost-and-found procedures, did not conduct any meaningful investigation, and completely disengaged from communication.
I escalated the issue to Hilton corporate, filed a police report, and submitted a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The business never responded, and the case was closed due to lack of cooperation.
This is not about the lost item itself, but about the absence of responsibility and guest support. I expected significantly higher standards from a Hilton property.
