Okay, My husband and I just returned from a 5 day trip with another couple. We stayed from July 2nd-7th. This was a great location as the hotel sits right across from Grant Park. I booked this hotel based on location as the Chicago food festival was being held at Grant Park and we had originaly planned to see U2 perform at Soldier Field. The hotel is a easy and safe walking distance from Soldier Field. You can easily walk the Musuem Campus ( Field, Shedd) from the hotel. It is also a easy walk to The Art Institute and Millenium Park. The Chicago Trolley Hop On/Hop Off tour bus stop is close to the hotel. You can pick it up in Front of the Hilton or Millinium Park.
