Start of Route 66 Trip
Location is excellent. We got the train into the centre of Chicago from O'Hare Airport and a short taxi trip to the hotel. Easy walking distance to the city centre. Walked to the river to take the excellent evening architectural tour on day 1. Walked to the Art Centre and Park where the Blues festival was taking place on day 2. Plenty of good restaurants near by. Hotel is typical Doubletree, clean, fairly modern and helpful staff. The only complaint was that WiFi was charged and was the only one that wasn't free throughout our whole 3 week Route 66 tour. The advert said lake view and I was thinking we'd wake up the a great view every morning. However the reality was that, yes you could see the lake, but only a small piece through a gap in the buildings in front.
