My husband, daugher and I stayed at Hotel Blake in May - our first time in Chicago. Everything was great - the hotel staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Our room was large and well appointed, and the bathroom was large and luxurious. The beds were very comfortable. The continental breakfast (included) is simply some bagels, juice and coffee served in the lobby, but good enough to start the day.
We thought the location was good - a few blocks from the waterfront and Buckingham fountain. From there we walked to Millenium Park and then down Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile shopping area to Hancock Tower (which I recommend for a view of Chicago - go an hour or so before sunset and stay until afterwards to get both day and night views).
The Hotel Blake is located in the business area which is quiet in the evening, but the concierge/doorman recommended bars/restaurants we could walk to. We also found that taxis were very reasonable. The valet parking is pricey, but we checked the area and all parking seemed quite expensive. It was convenient and safe, so it was worth it to us.
My son has since stayed at Hotel Blake for a weekend in a king bed room and also had a positive experience - the room was large, luxuriously appointed and very comfortable and the staff were great. When in Chicago, we will definitely stay at Hotel Blake!
