We just got back from a three night stay at the Hampton Inn Majestic. We picked this hotel for our family of four based on location (near the theaters- we went to see Wicked, near Millenium Park, near the Art Museum) and price. The hotel is clean, modern, has comfortable beds. AC worked well and it wasn't too noisy. There was some street noise but, I would not call it loud. We did not hear the other hotel guests. The neighborhood felt safe-- we were travelling with our kids and the subway was only a few blocks away. On our last morning before the noon checkout, we went to Macy's on State St..... wow not like any Macy's we've ever seen. The staff at the hotel was friendly and accomodating.... we asked for more towels and they were promptly delivered to our room. Free breakfast was a huge plus-- the variety was good but no fresh eggs (bagels, yogurt, fruit, cereal, muffins etc.) Plenty of restaurants within walking distance-- and again, no problem walking around with young kids!! We would stay here again without any hesistation. The parking is a bit pricey but, it's the city. We parked the car and used the subways or we walked (Pizzano's has great thin crust pizza). Check in and out with the help of the staff was a breeze. If you are looking for someplace in the Loop, definitely, consider this hotel!!

The hotel is well situaited and is generally comfortable. We found the rooms exceptionally clean but the decor was very dark with little attempt to compensate for the lack of natural light due to the position of the room. The breakfast is a real bonus and avoids having to spend out at cafes etc. Price wise we found the rates varied considerably throughout the stay although $200 per night would in our view reflect value for money. Its a solid and safe choice with clean and comfortable rooms but dont expect luxury!

Having planned a trip long in advance to hit the July 4th holiday (so we could attend the Taste of Chicago), I planned an Amtrak trip up and staying at the Hampton Inn Majestic. Though the rail trip was less than perfect, the Hampton proved an awesome way to recover. The location was perfect to walk to the Taste, the "el" red lines as well as the loop, countless buses - just an overall location. The breakfast was consistently good, well stocked, and the room was adequate (often a problem at free breakfast places). On July 4th, they even ran the breakfast an extra hour since it was a holiday.

The staff was exceptionally friendly (the front door staff is some of the best I've met - one walked us to a bus to catch a train at Union Station, an excess bag in tow!). The rooms were clean and quiet, and the cleaning staff was early and quick to clean. My only regret is I couldn't take in one of the shows in the area. Needless to say, we will stay at this hotel again - a definite gem in the Hampton family.

We chose this hotel based on its proximity to the Blue Line, but it is also near some great stores for shopping. Our son lives in Bucktown, which has little or no hotel rooms, so the train was our best option. For Chicago, the Hampton Inn Majestic is an excellent value. The cost was reasonable, a hot breakfast was included, the room was large and recently updated, the beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was large, and the employees were all very helpful and friendly. They do a great job of keeping their breakfast area stocked and keep it open longer than a lot of other hotels that will remain nameless. I want to emphasize the friendliness of their employees, too. Many Chicago hotels have workers that don't care and are just putting in their time. The Majestic's employees are very helpful and outgoing. They really want to make you feel welcome, and they take pride in their hotel. We will definitely stay there again!
