Nicely decorated - very modern and funky *HUGE bed. Super comfy! Awesome pillow. *Unfortunately our room was also right next to the ice machine outside...which was hell noisy... More

I was a bit apprehensive when my travel agent recommended the Hard Rock hotel in Chicago. Maybe it was because I have been to many Hard Rock Cafe's and my first thought was heavy metal music pumping into the hallways all night long. I am writing this review from my desk in my very quiet and extremely comfortable Hard Rock... More

I would recommend this hotel to all. Great quiete rooms, very comfortable beds and soft sheets. Very clean with nice toiletries. Very large flat screen TV and perfect location. The entertainment in the bar in the evening was a great plus. The only comment is that there is no real restaurant so food options are limited. But apart from that... More

Great staff and great experience. Food is a little pricy but this is downtown Chicago ... very comparable. Staff went out of the way to make sure my family had a great time. Will have to stay there again (kids won't let us stay anywhere else now). More

This was our third trip to the Hard Rock Chicago, and we were not disappointed. We typically travel as a couple, but this spring on a whim decided to take our toddlers into the city. We weren't sure if the Hard Rock, known for its music, bar, and rock star atmosphere would be good for kids. We were welcomed with... More

I just spent 3 nights at the Hard Rock Hotel in a king room. We took the train from Chicago O'Hare, which takes about 35 minutes. Get off at the Clark/Lake station and it is a short walk (about 4 blocks). I had never been on the "L" before, so I was a little nervous about taking the train, but... More

The Hard Rock Hotel Chicago is in an ideal location. Great views of the city and Millennium Park from the rooms. But, the front desk service was pretty rude and difficult to work with on a recent trip. They seemed like they had better things to do than help out paying guests. More
