Arrived for NRA food show on 5/15 and stayed four nights. Steve at front desk was super helpful and very polite. Bell staff and rest of crew as nice as Steve and nearly the best I've ever encountered. Had a 2-bed suite with business partner. Room was not very big, but the beds were super comfortable. We were out all day and night, so (in this city) the size of the room never became an issue. We signed up for the guest program and received free wi-fi daily as well as coffee, juice and paper each morning. Only one day our coffee didn't arrive and we had to call - immediately delivered. The restaurant 676 has excellent breakfast buffet $19, but in this city, pretty standard. The bar is a nice holding spot on the way out of town. Geno's East deep dish was super (45 min to bake). Gene and Georgietti's also well worth it. We found The Chop House pricey and not as pleasing as G&G. The location is great if you like to shop. Amazing stores within a few blocks. The city was suprisingly VERY clean and beautiful.
Back to the hotel. The turn-down service was a plus, the housekeeping staff was efficient. The only downside was the size of the rooms. The elevator system takes getting used to (switch at floor 3), but was comforting for safety.
Would recommend the hotel, would stay again, love chicago. Try BOKA, Blackbirds, the Perennial, Avec for tapas-like amazing cuisine.
Cheers,
Mike
