Home2 Suites By Hilton Chicago McCormick Place Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Home2 Suites By Hilton Chicago McCormick Place, you immediately get that “this is going to work” feeling. It’s one of those three-star extended-stay places that actually gets the details right — clean lines, modern touches, and a lobby that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The staff genuinely seems happy to see you, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re dragging luggage through Chicago after a long travel day.

Location & Neighborhood

The South Loop location is actually pretty brilliant if you know the city. You’re literally walking distance from McCormick Place, which is why business travelers love this spot, but here’s what surprised me — couples are rating the location even higher than solo guests. I think it’s because you can easily hop on the Red Line at Cermak-Chinatown and be downtown in minutes, or walk to Museum Campus when the weather’s decent. Plus, there’s this whole emerging food scene in the area that most tourists completely miss.

The Suite Setup

The room situation here is where things get interesting. These aren’t just hotel rooms — they’re actual suites with separate living areas and full kitchens. I mean, you’ve got a full-size fridge, dishwasher, the works. The kitchen setup means you can actually live here for a week without going insane from takeout, and the grocery store runs become part of the experience rather than a chore. The beds are surprisingly comfortable too, and there’s enough space that you don’t feel like you’re climbing over each other. The thoughtful design extends to storage solutions and workspace areas perfect for remote work.

Breakfast & Amenities

The breakfast situation is solid — they do this American buffet thing that’s way better than it sounds. What I really appreciate is the grab-and-go option when you’re rushing to catch the L or get to a meeting. The parking is private, which anyone who’s tried to park near downtown Chicago will tell you is worth its weight in gold. There’s also a fitness center that’s actually usable, not just a treadmill shoved in a closet somewhere. The business center and laundry facilities round out the practical amenities that extended-stay guests genuinely need.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, this place works because it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s not pretending to be a boutique hotel or a business center — it’s just a really well-executed extended-stay property that happens to be in a great spot. The fact that recent guests are rating the location so highly tells you everything you need to know about how this area has evolved. You get the space and amenities you actually want, easy access to both the convention center and downtown, and you’re not paying Michigan Avenue prices for the privilege. Whether you’re staying for a week or a month, this hotel delivers genuine value and comfort.

Chicago’s hotels wrap guests in skyline pools, butler service, and concierge-led architecture cruises.

Reviews of Home2 Suites By Hilton Chicago McCormick Place

• Rajeev from India (9/10)

  The Hotel is superb! Immaculately clean, well-maintained, courteous staff (Cynthia and in fact ALL the Front-Desk managers!) at a prime location (South loop, downtown Chicago), well-connected by CTA bus and the iconic Chicago "L" ("elevated") trains to ALL the Chicago attractions such as Cruise, Riverwalk, Field Museum, Millennium Park and the Bean, The Magnificent Mile, The Willis Tower, The Navy Pier, and all such "must-see" spots.
  This Hotel, in addition, is immaculate and safe. The cherry on the cake is that the Hotel is just next door to the mammoth McCormick Convention Center (where I had a Conference to attend) with a direct bridge-connection!
