First Time To Chicago
by TripAdvisor Member luckycannuck
My daughter lives there now and this was our first time to Chicago and the hotel was quite good. The price was reasonable and that is something I pay attention to because of the exchange rate Canadian to U.S adds at least 20% to your bill. On check in you do get the warm Chocalte Chip cookies which is a nice touch. The rooms are not huge but more than acceptable and the beds are soooooooooo comfortable. Location is fantastic and the food in the restaurant is o.k. Staff are very friendly and helpful yet low keyed which was fine. Over all we had a great stay and would go back with out hesitation. I should mention the pool and the hot tub and although the pool isn't huge I have seen smaller at other hotels. Hot tub was great. Exercise facilities were well equiped. Again well worth the price of admission.
Excellent location only one block off the Magnificent Mile!

We stayed here for five nights. Four of us (2 adults, 2 children) were very comfortable in a two room suite. The rooms are clean & quiet and the beds are very comfortable. Hotel staff was friendly and very helpful. Umbrellas were provided to guests on rainy days. The pool and spa are a big plus after a long day. Yes, it gets a bit crowded in the evening, but not so bad after 9 p.m. Easy walking distance to restaurants - try Cedar and Rush streets for something other than franchise food. I would highly recommend the Doubletree to anyone travelling with children.
Nice stay at Doubletree

First of all: This hotel is in a great location. Right across you will find the John Hancock Center and Magnificent Mile is just one block away. The service was generally friendly and helpful, even though sometimes not very talkative. The rooms are just fine, my room was absolutely identical to the one advertised on the Expedia Website. I was given a room on the 8th floor which didn't have much of a view but was quiet and clean, so I didn't mind. It seems as if you should try to avoid rooms close to the elevators, because they are busy the whole night. Room service was perfect and I really enjoyed the Blenz Cafe in the Lobby which serves little treats - and you can enjoy free wireless broadband Internet access there if you bring your Notebook along - there are no PCs available. I enjoyed this feature a lot! Overall I would definitely stay at Doubletree Guest Suites again, as location and price are perfect and the service and rooms are above average.
Nice, but not great
by TripAdvisor Member goanna
This is not the best Double Tree we have stayed at. The room was clean, the beds very comfy, and the location was great. BUT... the room was on the small side and a smidge stale smelling. My sister stayed in a room on the other side of the building. Her view was fantastic, ours was so so. We might go again, just for the location.
