My husband and I stayed at the Hilton this last weekend and it was great! The hotel staff was very helpful and they give you a validation code for your parking which saves you like $10 a day! The room was very nice and clean. We stayed on the 20th floor and had great views.
The location was great-we were in walking distance from shopping, millenium park and the rriver. We did take the free trolley to Navy Pier, and the bus to Lincoln Park. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant (Weber Grill) but it was always busy. We would have probably eaten there if we had one more day, but did snag some cheesecake from there and took it up to our room one night! Overall a great experience. We would recommend to anyone, couples or families.

Stayed here about a month ago and was very impressed. It's hard to beat this place for the price and location. The room was spacious and very clean, plus you get free wireless. The location is excellent, just a couple of blocks from Michigan Avenue with plenty of shopping and great restaraunts all around. Went to the Rock Bottom Brewery across the street and the food and overall atmosphere was very good (rooftop bar is great in the summertime). They don't have a breakfast at the hotel but the staff recommended an excellent place a few blocks away (Mary's Cafe) that was definitely affordable. If you want to go to Navy Pier, the hotel staff also recommended that you could take a free trolley 2 blocks away. You also get a discount if you park in the garage attached to the hotel ($16 if I remember right). Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

This Hilton Garden Inn was the perfect location for our trip to Chicago. We did ride the free trolley to Navy Pier, but walked to area museums, Race Street and the Magnificent Mile.

Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel was spotless, had a real nice gym area and pool, with a very helpful staff.

Their Internet is hard wired and seemed slow, but that's the only thing I could even think about that was less than excellent.

The city view from our room was a real plus.

Be sure and do the fireworks at Navy Pier and if you like some nightlife, check out Redheads piano bar a few blocks away.

Avoid UNO pizza!

Very nice hotel and a perfect location. Free internet! The internet is through an ethernet cable, but who cares if you can't carry your laptop around your room. I didn't try the complimentary breakfast, but you are in Chicago. Get out of the hotel and try some of the best food in the world.

Footsteps away from the CTA red line. When you walk out of the hotel the stairs to the red line train are directly to the right. If you are familiar with riding the train in Chicago, it is perfect. If you are there to see a Cubs game, you get on the northbound red line train, and get off at the Addison stop which drops you off at the stadium.

The hotel's entrance has an unloading area on Grand that is convenient for pulling into for unloading your group and luggage. An attendant will ask if you will be valet parking. Valet is $40 per day with in and out privileges. Self-parking is $26 per day after you have the parking ticket validated at the front desk. The regular price on the sign in the garage is $35 per day. The self-parking garage is connected to the hotel with entrances on both Grand and Ohio. If you are planning on parking your car and leaving it during your stay, this is the way to go. If you do self-parking, ask for the front desk to validate your ticket before you leave. When it is time to depart, you'll then insert your card into an automatic payment machine just outside the lobby to the right that you can pay with a credit card or cash.

When I go back to Chicago, I am definitely going to be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn - Downtown.
