My hubby and i stayed at hotel wed 9/30-10/4/9. We absolutely enjoyed a=our stay. my hubby had a business meeting, I went to shop and sight see. I don't know where to start. The room was great no complaints great comfy bed ( to be a hotel). Granite countertops in bathroom they tried to make it feel like home I guess you could say. Hubby say meeting rooms adaquate. Business center was great especially if you did not buy the internet in your room (which we did which is 9.95 plus they tax that)
The front desk staff was very nice with smiling faces everytime you went down always willing to help.
The conciege, Phillip is the best. He told me everything I wanted to know. Go on the Chicago Trolley for a tour one day or three. I went three. It was awsome. You hop on and off as you wish. You just have to get back on by 5pm or you can take a taxi which can get really expensive. Did not take the el which is the train or any buses. Paid for a taxi so we could get there. Hold on the taxi people drive fast. You will also hear a lot of horn blowing. I met Richard once, hes's nice too. Navy pier does a fre trolley to the pier on Fri, sat, and sun.
Don't really drink but they had free drinks from 530-730pm. they made me a sex in the beach and it tasted like koolaid. Also they give you snacks to like pretzals, spinach dip and crackers,and cheese. Don't look for this to get you full it's a nice evening snack. I read previous reviews and i think people were trying to get full and that not what it's for.
There is a great hotdog place called Portillos one block over. THIS IS A MUST. There is a rain forest cafe, hard rock cafe, Mcdonalds, ESPN, all one block over.
Overall the hotel is great. The next time I go to Chicago will differnlt stay here. Mag mile as the call it (magnifient mile) is 3 blocks. You can walk, have plenty of money to shop. No complaints.
