Top Essex Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly, however housekeeping never cleaned or removed trash from our room during our three days stay. We were provided clean towels and additional coffee pods when housekeeper (she was very friendly)knocked on the door to ask on day two of our stay. Trash can in public area were overflowing with the same garbage for 2 days. When trash was finally taken care of, they only removed the overflowing bag sitting on top, leaving the remaining trash in the receptacle. Also, despite being on the 17th floor, we could hear all of the street noise as the windows had very little sound dampening. Yes, I know it's a busy city but the noise was excessive."

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were superfriendly and willing to help me during my stay. Then upon arrival front desk was super friendly and welcoming and filling me in on all the necessary items. Overall, clean and good room, friendly staff from the front desk to the bartenders on the roof. Slight wait for elevators, but it's an older building, so that's expected."
