Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Homewood Suites By Hilton Chicago-Downtown enjoys a superb location, putting guests within easy reach of the Chicago Riverwalk, shops like Nordstrom, and the L train, making downtown sights easily accessible. The spacious suites feature well-equipped kitchen areas with a large refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, and dishwasher.

helpful staff great location dirty sofa only elevator

I liked the helpful staff. The staff at breakfast. The hotel also had a great location for nearby shops. It had restaurants and riverside bars.

The sofa portion was dirty. It also seemed completely worn out. Only one elevator was working for the entire building. It was awful!

Wonderful Stay in the City Center

prime location attentive staff varied breakfast nearby metro

The location provided easy access to several places. The staff demonstrated politeness, always attentive to guest needs. The breakfast offered a variety of choices each morning. A nearby metro station made travelling simpler.

The elevator wait times were a Little long during peak hours, this became frustrating.

The fitness center features three treadmills, two stationary bikes, and a set of free weights. A refreshing pool area has twenty comfortable loungers and includes a shaded section. It was very convenient.
