I've never paid so much for such a small room.........
We usually book hotels on Priceline and have had good luck. We ended up paying $240 a night plus $44 for parking. We usually don't stay at boutique hotels and prefer the larger chains.......they seem to offer some consistency, but i think there was something going on in Chicago and we were having a hard time finding a room.
The room was the smallest hotel room that I have ever stayed in. There was barely enough room for the Queen size bed.There was no chair or anyplace to sit, the TV was mounted on a wall beside the bed....very awkward ,the building next door was under construction allowing the construction workers to peer into our room from ten feet away. The temperature in the room was impossible to control and the window was broken. Very disappointed.
