Just got back today from a 3 day stay in Chicago. We switched our hotel last minute to the Wyndham, based on a good rate from Expedia, and the fact that my 7 year old insisted on a pool. The hotel check -in was very easy, although we were told at check-in that they could not honour our Wyndham By Request membership, since we had booked through Expedia. The front desk however, was nice enough to give us a "club room" on the 16th floor, without the benefits of the club services. We found the room to be more than adequate. It appeared to have new carpet, 2 double beds with duvet bedding and a small tv. Being that we were there during Spring Break, the hotel was packed with other families, and the pool was jammed with kids - much to my chagrin , however to my kids' delight. I think my ears are still ringing with the sound of kids screaming and the roar of the jacuzzi! Our concierge "Russell" was very helpfull with suggestions. TIP: If you plan to go to the Rain Forest Cafe, make sure to phone in advance reservations! Playing it by ear cost us 1.5 hours of wait time!!!! Overall- we found the hotel to be nice enough to return, and more than deserving of their 3.5 star rating. We did not eat breakfast in the cafe, instead used the miniscule coffee maker to heat water for our instant oatmeal, and hot cocoa. 2nd note: the club floor bathrooms must be designed for very tall people. My 7 year old couldn't reach the bathroom sink. Luckily she has great balance, so we inverted the plastic trash can and used it as a 'step stool". We also loved the shampoos and soaps provided by the hotel. I also liked the make-up mirror in the bathroom. My kid thought the first floor lobby was very fancy - although from a space planning point it seems inefficient since you either have to climb the grand stairs, or take an elevator to get to the lobby! Our overall experience was lovely and we would recommend this Wyndham Hotel.
