Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown N Loop Michigan Ave

“Great stay.. but maybe had a ghost visit?!?”

Located just steps away from Michigan Ave in the heart of Chicago. Clean room and free continental breakfast was a bonus.

Located just steps away from Michigan Ave in the heart of Chicago. Clean room and free continental breakfast was a bonus. We had an interesting second night though and I'm curious to know if anyone else who has stayed there has had a paranormal visit.. We stayed in room 609. It was at the end of the hall and we had to key in through two doors.. two rooms were located in this little area. The first door from the hallway to enter in was a dark wood where every other hotel door on the floor was white. Between 12:30 and 2am, the door from the hall to the little entry way to our room and room 610 kept opening and closing. My husband looked through the peephole to see who was making the noise and there was no one there. He could see the door swing open and then close. It was a keyed entry so it was latched so no way a breeze could've opened it. It did this about 40 times during that time frame and then stopped. I've never had an experience like this before and I've even stayed at the Congress Hotel in Chicago which is considered the most haunted hotel in the city! Other than that experience, staff was friendly, hotel was clean, and location was very convenient!

“A good inexpensive hotel for a short stay”

A clean if somewhat small room and adequate facilities. The included breakfast had the standard hotel things like eggs, potatoes, some baked goods, cereal, juices and coffee. The location is excellent as there are many restaurants close by.

“Satisfactory. Wouldn’t stay here again.”

Just satisfactory. Pros: Location is convenient for walking to many of the sites. Breakfast is included so that cuts down on the cost of eating out. Beds and pillows comfy. Oatmeal, fruit, yoghurt options for a healthy breakfast very much appreciated. Cons: So NOISY! The first night was the wo… more

Just satisfactory. Pros: Location is convenient for walking to many of the sites. Breakfast is included so that cuts down on the cost of eating out. Beds and pillows comfy. Oatmeal, fruit, yoghurt options for a healthy breakfast very much appreciated. Cons: So NOISY! The first night was the worst night sleep I’ve had in a long time. I understand that the central location means there’s potentially a lot of traffic but I was not prepared for how much noise would interfere with sleeping. There may as well have not even been a window. They’re not sound proofed at all (why? This is perfectly possible). At 1:30am a garbage truck came to empty dumpsters and took a loooong noisy time about doing so. Sirens. Loud vehicle noises. It was like sleeping at a construction site. I ended up having to sleep with headphones in playing white noise directly into my ears. The room was ok. Not as spacious as it looked on the website. Furniture falling apart. No extractor fan in bathroom (or very subtle one?). AC unit makes constant high pitch whining noise. Nothing much to watch on TV (weird minimal channels). Coffee maker very basic. Breakfast is included so that’s great but obviously it’s not the highest quality. The omelet was not good. Must have been made from frozen. Didn’t taste like egg.
