I was going back to Chicago for the 1st time since moving 9 years ago. I picked a half dozen hotels along the Mag Mile, but an agent asked me to try Printers Row. I only remembered the area for an infamous police station and numerous cut rate liquor stores. Wow, what a surprise. The area is fabulous and a great lesson to me. Chicago can get better. What made the trip other than Bruce Springsteen's unbelievable concert, was the staff at the Wyndham Blake on Dearborn. 1st we were greeted by "Showtime" and that he is. Quite the doorman, bellman, restaurant expert, concierge, and best of all a friend for my next visit. Showtime was matched by Shelly at the front desk. It's nice to know someone can multi task and not live on a computer. Shelly was a great help over the phone and all the better in person. The staff throughout was smiling and helpful. The hotel is a historical building so issues come up. Just let a staff member know, and trust me, they;re there to make your stay a comfortable one. The hotel is close to the subway and El, numerous restaurants and neighborhood bars, and a very safe walk to Michigan Ave. I will definitely be a repeat guest.
