Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent
"Love the Chicago Hilton and Towers! I actually was married there in 1988 :) A safe, historic hotel located in the Loop which is walkable distance to pretty much everything. Priscella was so very helpful with check-in and made sure I had everything I needed. A gem! Although we didn't have the cleaning staff in our room, the rest of the hotel was immaculate. It's a beautiful hotel and if you like walking, this is the place for you!"
