Top Harold Washington Library Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff, tasty breakfast."

Hilton Chicago

8/10 Good

"Reception and welcome were excellent. Clean, spacious and comfortable room. Lacked a central light switch at door, and we had to run the shower for a long time before hot water came through but was then fine. Bathroom could do with a few more towel rails and would prefer a bar of soap to the liquid soap, but all very clean. Enjoyed o'sheas bar in the evening where service was great and food tasty if a little pricey."
