McCormick Place Rooftop Garden Review

Went for the Chicago auto show.. this place is massive.

Parking attendants were worthless. Directed drivers without talking to other attendants. Every which way !!!

Great place can house over 45,000 Lions Club members at a go

This place is freaking HUGE! Went to the Chicago Auto Show 2019!

Very nice hotel connected to the largest convention center in North America

A sprawling convention and event center close to Chicago's 'Gold Coast' and waterfront (Lake Michigan).
Convenient train ('Metra'), that stops
at McCormick Place...simply walk upstairs!

Was here for ProMat and it was a large place. Plenty of underground parking and good signage for getting around. Staff was also helpful if needed.

I was on Auto Show.
Very Nice experience , it was Clean and very good organized....

First time was amazed by all the cars and the family enjoyed it

Attend several conventions here every year.Conveniently located public transportation available,restaurants, connected to the Hyatt Hotel and Arie Crown Theatre.Always clean plenty of bathrooms and helpful staff.

Huge, we went to n 100 restaurants fair. Very organized clean and floor was padded so as not to tire your legs.
The public transportation that supplies the place is such an organized delight.

Vast amount of space for whatever your needs are. Came here for Nike Tournament!

Great and open layout, but can be crowded while trying to cross the main hall.

One of the better Convention Halls in the country, however, the union rules kill the experience for exhibitors and will eventually kill the industry for Chicago.

An immense, comfortable convention center with all its required infrastructure.

What a huge and modern convention center. One of the best places in US for a congress to be held there.

This place is ridiculous... It's time-consuming, and truck marshalling is a rip-off.

Great convention center. Highly recommend public transportation or taxi, Uber etc. Wear your walking shoes. Food overpriced.

I ve been here many times for the Chicago auto show and every year it s a blast! The grounds are kept clean and they have friendly staff. Parking sometimes is hard to find. But you get that wherever there s a mass of people!

Great place. Attended the ASCO conference here. Place is huge!

Not like it use to be no luxury car but still great

The best convention center I've seen, modern, comfortable, easily accessible.

It is awesome location but make sure you plan ahead of time for parking if you are planning to attend any event.

The conference rooms are freezing but other than that, it is a top notch place, attentive staff.

McCormick Places contacts with Freeman for many of their events. This was my recent experience with Freeman at an event at McCormick Place.

We were required to work with Freeman for the IFT18 convention.

1. They refused a delivery of show supplies that arrived at the proper time and were properly labeled. They then requested UPS Redeliver them AFTER the show. To fix the problem we had to hire a private courier company at additional expense.

2. They failed to used the provided Bill of Lading for the return shipment resulting in the shipment being lost, costing more and being improperly insured.

3. The freight was damaged in shipment and wouldn't have been a big issue, but because Freeman didn't use the proper BOL, the insurance process is in limbo.

4. 10 plus phone calls to try and get the problem sorted out and NOT ONE RETURN PHONE CALL.

DO NOT WORK WITH FREEMAN. IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO WORK WITH FREEMAN CONSIDER NOT ATTENDING THE TRADE SHOW. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING USING FREEMAN TO MARSHALL YOUR CONVENTION, DON'T.

The Auto Show was more organized this year. McCormick is the great spot to have it. Clean bathrooms, plenty of parking spot and decent food vendors.

Carpets are gross. Spent 3 days there and found a clump of dust and carpet debree along the side line of the banquet room. After 3 days my dust allergies were so bad i had a full blown sinus infection. With all of the dust and foot traffic they need better vacuums or filters. Security guard chased me down when walking from hilton garden in to the south plaza. I had an overnight lte night entry pass and the door was broken... really secure guys! And then they didnt have lights on so i walked all the way from the south plza to the garden in ... pretty much... in the dark. Only McDonalds and Connies pizza was available. Durong a dance event. We could have had great use of a starbucks as the hotel hilton vendors were swamped. Why were no other restaurant spaces open and avail through the weekend? Probably because its chicago and union so the event would lay but with dancers and dance moms the dunkin opening at 8 am didnt cut it ( we started at 645 all 3 days) that starbucks could have made $$$$$$$ from the traffic going to and from cars or hotels AND I bet people would have walked for it becUse the "serves starbucks coffee" is not the real deal. I wanted a sandwhich or salad so.ething light healthy and not premade and left out in a deli market by ???? Just bad experience this year.

Tje events are to far to walk for seniors. They need some kind of shuttle.

ALWAYS COME HERE EVERY YEAR FOR THE AUTO SHOW HOWEVER I HATE CROWDS AND THE FOOD IS PRICEY BUT THE AUTO SHOW ITSELF IS GREAT AND WE HAD FUN WITH OUR GRANDKIDS

Great venue for events in Chicago. The marathon fair is held at this location. There is an attached hotel. Large parking lots, but there are about 1 km passing two metro lines.

Was there for the Auto Show. $25 to park in north outdoor lot, building looked tired and worn, and the men's room smelled like raw sewerage.

Not for me anymore.

Car and boat shows are really fun but everything is too expensive at the vendors. Also the shuttle's are super crowded and it's a long way to walk if you park in the south lot

HUGE! This place has plenty of signage to assist attendees for navigating through one of the largest convention centers in the world.

Very good space, however it is very far from parking

Went to the car show their with my wife . Had a good time . Looking at the cars we wanted to .

This very nice and well organized all very friendly

Beautiful exposition and meeting venue.Gigantic space overlooking the lake.

Easy to get to and wide open. I've attended the auto show here and didn't feel crowded.

Huge place, great for conventions like the one I went to. I get anxiety pretty easily when there's a crowd and this place made it easy for me to find an exit or just an unoccupied space. Will definite come back for future conventions.

The auto show was fun but not as much as the last few years. There were entirely TOO MANY YOUNG CHILDREN at the show this year. The should be an age restriction. Overall, it was great seeing both classics and futuristic prototypes!

I'm
OMG This place is beautiful but, u have to walk far from ur car to get to your destination who designed this. What if there s a fire. You will be walking.

Was there for the auto show. Had fun. Lots of people.

Big place for conventions. And the auto show comes every year.

Great place for a tradeshow! The Unions get the job done professional and efficient as opposed to non union convention centers.

Chicago Auto Show was organized well, if a bit crownded. The facilities here are clean and large. Perfect place for any type of convention.

Great place to visit! Both spacious and very well designed!
