Usually I go to the Sheraton when I'm sojourning in Chicago on business but as that was full up with all the journalists/shameless hacks there for the Ryder Cup I had to go to the Conrad instead. Its situated in the center of the City with good links to shopping and nightlife.
Check in was comfortable and the staff (as they were throughout) were cheerful and friendly. Got a decent room overlooking the magnificent mile and a view of the Intercontinental next door glaring at me as if I had blanked it when plumping for the Conrad. Road noise wasn't really a concern as I was a fair few floors up.
Room itself was comfortable and well appointed with large living and bathing areas which is what you'd expect from an upmarket hotel like the Conrad. The bathroom had a bath and a separate shower. Extras included toiletries, toothbrush and shaving kits and all were replenished on a daily basis.
Bed was excellent and the extra seating like a nice laz-e-boy style seat with ottoman and a decent work desk were more than welcome as I had to do some work late at night. Wi-fi was excellent throughout and I believe was complementary for my stay.
Nicest thing was that the mini bar was empty. "Thats awful!" I hear you cry but what they take away in available minibar and snacks (which you can order up anyway btw) they give in valuable fridge space to store your OWN stuff like say loads of nice local sodas and goodies from the Dominics down the road.
All in all an excellent stay. Would choose again IMO.
