The Hilton Garden Inn was a wonderful place for our family to stay. It was clean, amenities were great, service was excellent, and it was centrally located. It was a short walk to the cafes, eateries, and restaurants we visited. It is literally across the street from a mall, Starbucks, around the corner from CVS, and an amazing cafe called Goddess and the Baker. It's a 5-8 minute walk from the famous Frontera Grill (chef Rick Bayless), which was some of the best food we have ever experienced! It's within a 10-15 minute walk to Lake Michigan, the river and Riverwalk, Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. It's quiet for being downtown, too. The cost of the stay was well worth it!
