Homewood Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown South Loop
The room was great, staff were friendly and helpful. The only disappointment (for the kids, at least) was that the hot tub was out of order all weekend, and the pool was closed Monday. But it didn't ruin our weekend by any means.

Sentral Michigan Avenue
It was my son's birthday and the staff was extra kind. We loved the room with the view. The only bummer was that the hot tub wasn't working in February 2026 and the pool was cold. We did like playing in the game room and the proximity to the art museums.
