I loved it! Everything was on point except the pillows lol omg they were terrible it was hollow and like it wasn’t anything in them and it flattened immediately and it wasn’t a microwave in the room but that wasn’t too much of in there issue an inconvenience I might add BUT the staff was really nice the hotel and rooms smelled fresh and inviting and the bed was really comfortable.

Overall a great experience!

Overall the hotel is great! We stayed there for the night after attending a concert at Tinley Park, so the location is perfect. I’m taking off a star ONLY because the walls are extremely thin. You can hear everything. At 6am I swear there was a soccer game on the floor above us and full conversation maybe next door or in the hall. Balls were bouncing and shaking everything. Other than that, it was a great experience and would definitely stay there if attending another concert!

Excellent place to stay for three days. We had some issues on the last night that we stayed. They were not from the staff, but from the guests who were not considerate to anyone who stayed at the hotel. The staff should have the authority to evict the guests who had the party inside their rooms or turned on very loud music after 10:00 p.m. Hotel needs to establish strict policy to the guests. If the management read this comment -> please give authority to your front desk to enforce a strict policy regarding quiet hours.

The front desk person, while nice did not explain anything regarding the property or amenities. We had to visit the front desk 3 separate times to get information about breakfast, obtaining a non existent do not disturb sign and getting more than one set of towels in a king room. I'm disappointed in this Hilton stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Limited options for someone with food allergies, bed was comfortable but room was hastily remodeled. Drywall dust everywhere, bathroom sink p trap not connected, shower curtain rod was moved and had wet drywall mud still in the patches, lock on door was hanging off. No one at desk for 10 minutes upon arriving, had to go ask for towels. Ice machine was broken and the one on the lower level was moldy. Pool was hot, hot tub out of order. For the price it was ok, room was just slapped together and not properly cleaned after construction.
