As with all Chicago hotels, ask about parking. The Majestic only offers valet parking and we paid $38. to park. It is worth noting as you compare prices. The Majestic is above the LaSalle Bank theater and therefore lots of traffic when theater lets out. As with all Hamptons, which is why I like them, good mattress and decent breakfast. The room was very clean and quiet. Hotel also felt secure and safe. Good shopping just around the corner on State street and not far to "Magnificent Mile." The hotel is right in the heart of theater district which is especially nice if you are seeing a show. Near Art museum and free trolly to other museums and shopping. I would stay there again and would recommend to others.

The location was great, literally just 5 minutes walk from Millenium Park and the Art Institute (where the tour busus also pick up), and only about 20 minutes walk to the Pier.
The staff were all really helpful and friendly, especially considering we were rather early booking in. The room was a good size, clean and comfy, though it was it was the only hotel we stayed in that didn't have a fridge, which we missed, as we couldn't chill water and drinks ready to take out with us next day. We were also disappointed with the breakfasts - the choice was fairly basic, and only offered one hot dish, so we weren't able to stock up on a big American- sized breakfast for the day; it seemed to be catering more for business people, maybe? Also, there was no proper crockery, just polystyrene plates and bowls, and plastic cutlery, which seemed really strange in a decent hotel, and didn't help us enjoy what breakfast there was.

Just spent 4 wonderful days in Chicago and stayed at the Hampton Majestic. For location, you can't beat the Majestic. It's conveniently located within walking distance of most of the theaters in the Loop, and right next door to the Bank of America Theater. Also for us shoppers, it is about 3 blocks from Macy's and other shopping on State Street. There are several great restaurants within walking distance, but to save a buck, I highly recommend taking advantage of the free hot breakfast. The staff was extremely helpful and kind, from Darrel the Bellman to the front desk staff, to the maids. I will be heading back to Chicago for Thanksgiving and am looking forward to another stay at the Majestic. If you have time and are a music lover, I HIGHLY recommend seeing Jersey Boys at the Bank of America theater. You will NOT be disappointed!

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!!
