Great hotel south of the loop
The Wyndham Blake is a comfortable hotel in a historic building. The staff is extremely friendly. The rooms are large, although variable. Mine did not have a bath, only a shower and two drains in the bathroom. Probably intended for a wheelchair bound guest. One of my colleague, in contrast, had a jacuzzi. One should ask for a corner room. The views from the rooms include the Public Library and the Sunoco Gas Station. The area of town was not as classy as areas to the north. It was hard to find good restaurants within walking distance, with the exception of the Everst Restaurant, which is about four blocks away. The street people were a nuisance. However, all in all, it is worth staying at. There is free Internet access, and we got coupons for two free drinks at the bar each day. The hotel connects with a good restaurant, the Custom House, which is also good for late night drinks.
