This was my third trip to Chicago and I opted to stay in the Crowne Plaza Downtown primarily due to price for one night before heading out to a Chicago Suburb.
I was very pleased with the quality for the price and this is definitely at the top end of the Crowne Plaza value proposition. It is situated right off North Michigan Ave on the street between the Apple and Nine West Stores. The rate was booked direct with the Crowne Plaza website, with a better rate thru finding it with Kayak (which then linked me to Crowne Plaza).
I didn't have time to eat in the restaurants or breakfast, although there is a Corner Bakery Cafe (one of my Chicago favourites) just a block away.
Please note I felt let down by the door staff who told me it would be the same to call a suburb taxi (I quoted a rate) as use a Chicago taxi; it ended up costing an extra 40%....
