clean new hotel, hope the renovations are done
Stayed at the Lincoln Hotel. The furnishings were new and we had an amazing view of (I think) Lincoln Park and the lake. I woke up early (due to the noise) but view was beautiful. The door to the bathroom was a sliding door that didn't actually close, but considering it was not actually in the same area as the beds it was ok. We didn't even report it. We did however get woken up by construction work being done. I had no idea what it was, thought maybe it was the heat. Since we had booked with hotels.com and nothing could be done about our rate, the hotel took the parking charge off our bill. I was too tired to argue for anything else. I think this is a nice little hotel in a quiet, residential, neighborhood. The evening concierge, while VERY pleasant and interested in accommodating, didn't really know about the neighborhood. We were lucky enough to run into one of the maintenence or construction workers. Not really sure what his role there was. He told us to go to Millenium Park, where to eat good deep dish pizza ( we had tried 2 different places the nite before,)and to get Garrets popcorn! Our lunch (Giordanos) and walk around the city before heading for the airport was outstanding! We'll be back in Chicago! It's a great city!
