Drake Hotel
May 16, 2008
My mother and I booked a 2 night stay at The Drake. What can I say?

Wonderful food!) The check-in... more
Heart O' Chicago Motel

The towels provided excellent exfoliation whether you wanted it or not, and the continental breakfast was pretty sparse, but the rooms were clean, housekeeping quite adequate, good restaurants close by and it was easy to navigate to the Lakeshore and downtown. Free parking too!... more
