Below average Sheraton
This is a large, business hotel and I was staying there and attending a conference. The location is nice, right on the river with a great view of the boats going by. Navy Pier and the lake front park are within walking distance as is Water Tower Place, Michigan Avenue, and other areas of the northern Miracle Mile area. Good jogging by going over the bridge across the river and then running down to the lake and on the lake front. So, very nice location. I was disappointed in my room. Sheraton's often have a very nice work area, big desk, lots of plugs, and various computer connections. This room was not at all like that. It was small, had a typical small desk, and had a very 3 star feel to it. I was surprised given the many other Sheratons in which I have stayed. Also, all meeting rooms were simply freezing. I know all conference centers are either too hot or too cold, but everyone at our conference agreed, this was nuts. Despite efforts by the conference organizers, it remained freezing for the full 3-day conference. Over all, I rate it average. Rooms were below average for a business hotel as were some other aspects. Climate control in meeting rooms was nonexistent. But, it is an excellent location.
