Blanchardville Holidays from £628

Property is clean and convenient to walk to restaurants and shops. Do not expect your room a minute before the 4:00 check in. The hotel is very nice and updated. The room was nice but hard to sleep due to noisy (rattled all night) air conditioner. Also, the smoke detector has an obnoxious flashing light all night long. If you like total darkness to sleep you are in trouble as the flashing light lights up the room.

This was my first time staying. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice and perfectly located downtown. Also, the breakfast buffet was amazing and a nice surprise.

I loved my room. Given that there was a festival 8/1-8/3 the 12am conversations in the hallway were loud. There were dirty dishes left in the hallway for hours, no ice available on our floor (5) and I had to go up to the 10th floor for ice. However, Rogelia, from Housekeeping was a gem! Thankfully Rogelia helped me locate a working ice machine for the champagne bottle I had. The outdoor pool looked nice, and I laid out on the loungers, which was relaxing. However, there needs to be an age limit for who can go into the hot tub. I saw three young ladies in the hot tub and suddenly a woman told her two small children (under 11 years old) to jump in to keep warm! If your children are cold, then they should go to their hotel room to get warm. One of the children said 'this isn't that warm'. That was a huge imposition on the three young women, having an adult conversation, to have two small children jump in such a small, contained space. Perhaps the small the children's pool on the rooftop could be heated, as a solution. That is a more appropriate place for a child. Not amongst adults who are strangers.

This property is in a great location for walkable distance to many Chicago attractions. While this property doesn't have a kitchen like other Grand Vacation properties, the larger than usual fridge, mini kitchenette & dining table came in handy to not have to eat out for every meal, and the property is a block away from Whole Foods and other local markets. The pool was under renovation, 2nd Hilton GV property this has happened to us at, so not sure we'll plan on being able to use the pools featured at Hilton properties - as they also never provide disclaimers when the pool will be closed on their website or 3rd-party sites.

Everything was great
