Vittum Park is more than just a park—it’s a daily dose of urban joy. Walk the winding paths, jog through the leafy trails, or watch kids laugh on the playground. The lakeside grass is perfect for a picnic or a golden-hour sunset. In spring, cherry blossoms burst into bloom; summer brings lush shade; autumn paints the trees in gold. Bring your coffee, sit on a bench, listen to the water lapping and birds singing—this is simple, soul-soothing happiness, right in the heart of Chicago.

This is my third stay at this hotel, and I can confidently say it’s become a favorite whenever I visit Chicago. The room is consistently spacious and comfortable, and this time around, the mattress was especially cozy—felt like I slept through the night without a single disturbance. Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. The breakfast options are a bit limited and don’t vary much, but everything is fresh and well-prepared. It’s not gourmet, but it’s satisfying and reliable. The location is fantastic—close to the medical campus and downtown, with easy access to public transit. For the price and overall experience, it’s an excellent choice. Definitely coming back next time.
I was genuinely impressed by how spacious the hallway felt—almost like a private residence rather than a hotel. The public areas are beautifully designed, with a modern and inviting vibe that sets it apart from typical chain hotels. Located right within the UIC medical district, it feels safe and well-connected. Just a short walk to both the Pink Line and Blue Line stations, making downtown Chicago easily accessible. Taylor Street is nearby, offering an amazing variety of restaurants—from casual eats to more upscale options. Plus, there’s a bus stop right outside the front door, which makes getting around incredibly convenient. This place combines comfort, safety, and location perfectly. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago Medical District UIC and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort for a relaxing stay. The breakfast buffet was excellent—fresh, varied, and delicious, especially the hot options. While parking comes at an additional cost, it’s worth it given how close the hotel is to downtown Chicago and major medical facilities. The fitness center is large and well-equipped, and having a pool on-site is a nice bonus for those who want to unwind after a long day. One thing to note is that daily housekeeping isn’t provided, so I’d recommend bringing your own essentials if you’re staying longer. Overall, this hotel offers great value, convenience, and a clean, modern atmosphere. I’d definitely return and highly recommend it to travelers looking for a reliable, no-frills stay in the area.
