Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed at the Magnificent Mile Suites for a couple get away. They offered valet parking for $82/night, $62/night self park. Used spothero to park a block and a half down for half the cost. BUT we did not have privileges to get the car whenever. Hotel does offer in/out privileges. We ubered and walked around the city. There are many forms of transportation to get around the city. Room was pretty clean, they offer a pool and fitness area. Overall good experience. Will stay again. "
