Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The hotel and the room were very nice. It was right across from the hospital which was were my husband was at. I had a king size bed and it was quite spacious. The amenities in the room were okay but the bathroom had everything from the shampoo, bath wash and hair dryer to help so that you don't have to bring those for your visit. They also will supply you any bathroom amenities if you forget anything. The only thing that I didn't particular care for was that they only had a refrigerator but no microwave and the ice machine didn't work on my floor so I was forced to use one on the opposite elevator for any time that I wanted ice. Other than that I would recommend this hotel if you are in the area."
