Right in the middle of everything
We recently stayed at this hotel for our anniversary. We got a great deal on yuupon.com for the hotel, so for the price we got, it was a great value. We had plenty of room for just the two of us, and I wish we could have stayed longer. This hotel is literally right in the middle of everything in downtown Chicago- we easily walked to the architecture boat tours, plenty of shopping just blocks away, and of course, all kinds of sightseeing and restaurants/bars. The breakfast was great and we didn't have too much trouble with lines, even getting down there at 9:00. Made-to-order omelets, waffles, pancakes, eggs, muffins, etc. The manager's reception was also very nice- they offered mixed drinks, wine, beer, and a red sangria. We actually ended up eating at the hotel restaurant which turned out nicer than I expected. Staff was very friendly and helpful, as was the concierge, who set us up on some of our tours. We arrived in Chicago at 9 am, and stopped by the hotel simply expecting to drop our luggage until they had a room ready, but they let us check in that early anyway.
