Definately A Place to Consider!!

We stayed for a week at the Omni for a summer vacation in the city. Room was actually two rooms - both good sized - one with desk/mini bar/tv/sofa, and the other had two beds. A pair of French doors connected the two. Very nice for my teenaged daughter who wanted to stay up later and watch TV, or me who is an early riser. Staff was very very very helpful, and gave some great suggestions for breakfast and dinner. Location was great - but a little confusing since the entrance is NOT on Michigan Ave, but actually one of the side streets (although the building IS on the corner of Michigan). I finally just looked for the Apple store, and Omni is across the street. They don't really advertise it, but they offer free town car service within a certain radius. The woman who drove us in the town car was extremely friendly and helpful (and on time!), and even offered to wait for a few minutes at our drop-off destination in case the was a problem. Loved the outside deck off the pool, but the pool is very small for this size hotel, and can get kinda busy/noisy if a few families show up with kids - that was just a minor annoyance. Rooms were quiet and clean, beds were comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower. Close walk to Navy Pier and to many other locations in the city. Definitely would stay here again if I had plans to be in the area. Great job to the folks working at the Omni Chicago!
