My family and I were recently in Chicago and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Metro in downtown Chicago. We were a little concerned initially because it was not located on Michigan Avenue (Manificent Mile). However, that concern was quickly eliminated from the moment we arrived. The hotel is a little deceiving from the outside, but once you arrive and walk into the lobby, you begin to realize just how incredible of a hotel it is. When we pulled up to the front of the hotel, we were quickly greeted by the doorman. He was upbeat and genuinely excited to see us. We were surprised by this greeting but it did not stop there. Upon entering the hotel, we were introduced to the desk clerk by the doorman. The clerk also warmly welcomed us to the hotel and began to check us in. While she was checking us in she mentioned information about the hotel and the surrounding area which made us begin to realize that we were still very close to where we originally wanted to be. We were escorted to our room by another gentleman who gave us even more information about the hotel and the facilities available. He was very kind and outgoing and before leaving us said that he would be available it we needed anything during our stay. The room was incredible and everything looked brand new. We had been told by the gentleman that brought us to our room that they had been open now for 3 years. Each room has a balcony and we had a perfect view of the skyline of the city. Unfortunately, since it was winter, we really did not have a chance to use it much but it offered a wonderful view from our room. We never got to see our room cleaner since we were gone most of the day, but this person did a fantastic job. Our room was spotless, but it seems that way every place we went in the hotel. We only took breakfast in the restaurant, but it was delicious and the staff there was just outstanding. They were so friendly and outgoing. It seemed that every person that we encountered in this hotel was very pleasant and happy. The service we received was outstanding. Every time we asked for something, it was done immediately and always with a smile. I can not begin to say enough about this hotel in Chicago. I definitely will stay here the next trip to Chicago.
