Hilton Chicago

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."
