| The hip, modern decor was a refreshing, inspiring change from floral bedspreads and gaudy landscape artwork. We enjoyed a free CD with current music, Aveda toiletries, a BIG shower, a good hairdryer, a nice view, and a great location.

| Lobby was pretty and comfortable. Hotel staff were all upbeat and helpful. The room was average size, bed was comfortable. One big problem was that the bathroom looked like it had not been throroughly cleaned in a few weeks. The tiles in the shower area were dirty. The cleaning staff did not give us new shampoo and conditioner bottles every day. They just left the almost empty ones in the soap tray. When we asked for extra towels in the morning they gave us 2 bath towels and no hand towels. The room had blackout shades which were great for sleeping. Overall it was a decent experience. The hotel is conveniently located and comfortable, but not as clean or as high scale as I would have expected from a Hard Rock.

| My neice and I stayed for just one night, but wished we could stay for more! I have never slept in a hotel where the bed was so comfortable! All the rock & roll pics and things were awesome. A huge tv and stereo plus one big bathroom! The staff was great--very friendly and helpful! We totally enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there again!!

| I was expecting it to be sorta cheesy or over the top since it was a themed hotel; but it was very subtle as far as the 'rock n' roll' theme goes. It was a really cool room, totally comfortable. Hotel staff is the friendliest I have ever encountered. Totally helpful and accomadating.

| Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago is simply amazing! My girlfriend and I book non-smoking room through Expedia.com, but when we arrived to the hotel, a concierge told us that there has been a mistake and that all non-smoking rooms were booked. However, he said that he will take care of the problem and that he will ''hook us up.'' Instead of the standard room that we supposed to get, we got a room with a view on the 23rd floor! We definitely enjoyed it! Another great thing about his hotel is its staff; the people that work there are super-friendly (always willing to assist you, whether be with accommodations, luggage, or suggestions as to where to eat). The bar in the hotel, although expensive (but hey, it is Chicago!), is great as well (you get ''hooked up'' with drinks too!). I will definitely go back to the Hard Rock Hotel when we go back to Chicago!

| The hotel itself is great an clean. The front desk staff was unknowledgable. Check was not until 3, they told us 12, they told us we would have a smoking room but the entire building was non-smoking. The bar and restaurant staff was extremely rude. The only plus was the hotel is smack in the middle of tourist area of chicago and on the Magnificant Mile. I would probably go back there since it is in a central location and the hotel is very comfortable and clean.
