We stayed at the Hampton Majestic while in Chicago. The people were great. Rony and Darryl were the absolute best. Having either of them as the first impression of the hotel is a great idea. You have to go to the 4th floor for registration, but the elevators come quickly and registration only takes a couple minutes. Also on the 4th floor is the breakfast, which was one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had (and I've traveled a lot over the years). Each morning they have a different hot food like French Toast Sticks, Eggs and Ham, Eggs and Sausage, etc, along with a variety of cereals, yogurt and fruit. They also have bread product every day, sometimes it was amazing cheese danishes and sometimes cinnamon coffee cake. If the only thing that was good about the hotel was the breakfast, it would totally be worth it.
But luckily breakfast isn't the only good thing about the hotel. They also have a new program where you can get limited view seating from the LeSalle Bank Theatre for only $25, so we were able to see Jersey Boys while we were there and didn't have to stand in line for 3 hours before the box office opened in the morning. The only problem is they don't advertise this program so if you go, you have to ask for info on the limited view seating. The tickets are completely worth it.
Other than that, I had a problem sleeping in the bed, but most people sleep well in the beds. Also, the location is right inside the loop, within walking distance to tons of different CTA locations. Within 1 block there are Blue and Red Line stops, and the buses stop on ever other corner. This hotel is totally worth the money and we will definitely be staying there again.
