We were in Chicago on Oct 5 through 7 for the Opera and got the run around from all of the hotels. I phoned 5 hotels and could find no rooms anywhere because of the Chicago Marathon and the Notre Dame game at Soldier Field. We felt "lucky" to get a room anywhere but this hotel was not good. The room was in desperate need of a remodel. The bathroom sink drained slow and the plug was broken, the fan sounded like a B-52. The door lock didn't function and we had to phone a friendly and efficient technician who fixed it immediately. The room was large and had a lake view but the furniture was circa 1950 and where do you see red low-pile indoor outdoor carpet in a room that rents for $375 per night? It was a place to sleep, we went elsewhere for everything. I couldn't get the heater to work and it was cold. We later discovered many hotels were not full - there was some sort of hotel "scam" going on.
