Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-Downtown

The breakfast buffet was great each morning! The location is spectacular- you can walk to the river in 5-7 minutes and the red line access is one block away! There are places to eat everywhere around the hotel and it was a short Lyft ride to anything we wanted to do. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The elevators were always quick and easy to access. After a certain time there was a security guard on site monitoring the door and requiring people to scan their card which I appreciated. Everything was clean and maintained. There is a fire station very close that you can hear at times but it did not bother us at all, in fact the breakfast area has a large glass wall facing it so it was fun to watch their station from the hotel and see all the activity happening (like them testing out the ladder each morning)!

I wish there were smart TVs in the rooms so people could stream/cast from their phones to watch things in the evening or log in/out of the apps. There is only basic cable accessible which is outdated. There was no fan in the bathroom which is tough when multiple people share a small room (or the one in our room didn't function). You could hear people's doors slamming very late and very early so it would help to put some slow closing devices on the doors for sure.

Everything was walking distance from this location, calling Ubers for the night life was great. & staff was exceptional. Easy to find as well.

Nothing overall great experience
