Oh, my! :)
The perfect hotel in the perfect location -- within walking distance to just about everything. This delightful little inn (though I don't think it's technically little, the design surely made it feel cozy) is one of the nicest hotels we've had the good luck of choosing. Little quirks (like having two buildings with two entrances -- meaning we had to cross a sweet little courtyard to get to the front desk) only added to the charm. The hotel is in a renovated, older building, and Best Western has done a great job with it. The room I originally booked (two queens) turned out to be a smoking room when we called to confirm. We didn't want a smoking room and the non-smoking rooms were all reserved, so the clerk at the desk upgraded us to a non-smoking suite at the same rate. It was wonderful! Beautiful, contemporary bathroom, lovely and spacious sitting area, comfy bed and fully stocked kitchen. The bathroom looked like something you'd see on HGTV's Urban Oasis. Stunning. The only problem we had was a loud, drunken group in the adjacent room that partied well into the night. I was too tired to call down to the front desk the first night (after driving 14 hours), but when they started up the second night a quick call down to the front desk was all that was needed to correct the problem.
The continental breakfast was served in the lower level of our building. The usual: coffee, tea, juices, muffins, donuts, fruit, yogurt, etc. What was nice is that they kept it out later than usual -- until around noon. 
Really, I cannot say enough about this hotel. We will definitely be back. It's nestled in a wonderful area of the city, and we walked just about everywhere (the lake shore area, Roscoe, Wrigley, etc). 
The only drawback is that there isn't a pool. Not a problem for my husband and I, but it would have been if we were staying there with our children. If you have kids who need to swim after a long day of travel, this probably isn't the hotel for you. If you don't care about a pool, book it!!
