Was a really nice hotel. My only concerns was the phones in the room didn’t work. No way to call front desk, front people weren’t super helpful and there was no microwave. Rooftop bar and room were excellent

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago
Main room and bathroom clean. The staff was really friendly and check goes on quickly and we didn’t have to wait on elevator which was nice. We do wish we have a little refrigerator in the room.

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites
The hotel staff is excellent! Very friendly and very helpful. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The only issue I had was the charging ports and electrical sockets next to our bed did not work which made overnight charging of our phones and watches difficult.
