Our room was on the 15th floor. Due to the shape of the building, the hallways are very winding. We had to make several turns to get to our room, 1569, in the far corner.

The room had two large windows with blinds. In front of one of the windows was a long desk with cabinets for the refrigerator and coffee maker. From our desk, we had a great view of Lake Michigan, the Buckingham Palace, and the Fountain and the Navy Pier. There was also a TV and a small tablet on the desk, where you could view information about the hotel and Chicago or In-room dining The bathroom was also relatively new and sufficiently spacious.

As a Hilton Diamond status guest, you receive vouchers for a continental breakfast or a snack bag. We opted for breakfast in the restaurant. All cold items were free. The selection of fruit, yogurt, cereal, and baked goods was more than enough to start the day. The only thing we missed was jam or Nutella. However, if you want egg dishes, pancakes, or similar items, there's a $10 surcharge.
