LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay at the LondonHouse. The property and room were very clean. The front desk staff was nice. Housekeeping was consistent. The bar staff were friendly but the staff at the rooftop bar could have been nicer. It was busy so I will give them grace but they were a little rude and I didn’t appreciate that considering I was staying at the property. I did not eat at the hotel to rate the food. The views from the vista room were amazing. I would stay again."
