Just the right place!
I searched through lots of reviews for hotels in Chicago. I was very glad I picked The Dana. We stayed for 3 nights. The location was perfect. We were able to walk to The Navy Pier, Michigan Ave. & Millenium Park & several restaurants. We even walked back from the zoo at Lincoln Park. Our room was comfortable. The desk moved us from the 8th floor to a corner room on the 17th even though we didn't ask for a change. Our view was great. The room wasn't big, but we spent minimal time there. The exercise room was adequate for us. We had massages in the spa on the 4th floor and loved every one of those 50 min. The concierges were extremely helpful with directions & making reservations for us. The bell boy, Luis, gave us personal reviews of local restaurants & the best CTA stations to use. We had great deep dish pizza at Giordano's because of his recommendation. We were only 1 1/2 blocks from the Red Line station. We took the train to Wrigley & it was only about 20 min. We didn't try any of the restaurants in our hotel & we're not night owls, so we missed the lounge in the penthouse. We had great breakfasts at The Original Pancake House near Lincoln Park & Beef & Barley just off Monroe below Wacker. The ribs at Dick's Last Resort ("Where the food is great, but the service sucks") were so good I wanted more. We would definitely return to Chicago & The Dana. See you again Chicago!
