Spring Break awesome
My wife, daughter, and I went to chicago this past weekend until Tuesday. This classic hotel is ideally located on the Magnificant mile. Well within walking distance of so many hi end stores and malls it makes your head spin. Then through on just a couple blocks from Rush street and all the eats there. 
As for the hotel. As I stated earlier it is classic. The architecture is early twentieth century. It could use some TLC but mainly if you only look up in the lobby. Otherwise it is like stepping back into the golden age of Chitown. Elegant and posh. The bellhops to th door man to the conciege, all are knowledgable and ready to help, corgial and attentive. Check in was a breeze. 
Now to the room. Remarkable. The bathroom was top notch. The beds were comfy the tv is huge, although lacking channels. It was very clean and staff was always available. Our room if you looked straight out was less than appealing looking at the roof of a couple other buildings and a car lot. Then I looked out and up. Towering over us is the John hancock building quite the site. One other point to mention if a family is considering staying here it is less than a block to the Ameican Girl Doll store.
Over all I would give this hotel and high 8 to low nine. Would reccomend and stay here again.
