Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites
Outdated for a hilton seemed old and dingy. Rooms had no proper ac. The lighting was poor. The bathroom was small, the shampoos were emoty poor attention to detail. I would soend my money elsewhere. Location was ok if your shopping. The restaurant was good but it is independently owned.
