Great for a three day weekend trip
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/5/07
We spent a lot of time trying to decide where to stay for a three day weekend in Chicago. We wanted to see a few shows, go to the Field Museum, do some shopping and try a few restaurants. My wife and I rented the one bedroom suite (it felt huge) and it was perfect.
The hotel was very quiet and it almost felt as if we were at home. I didn't find the rooms to be 'tired', as some reviews suggested. I suspect the rooms have been updated since some of the reviews were written. The concierge was very helpful, EVERYONE was very friendly, and the location was perfect. If you don't want to eat breakfast at the hotel (as some reviews mentioned), there is a Starbuck's right across the street and, even better, there is a "Corner Bakery" (think Panera) at East Elm (I think) and Rush that is about a 5-7 minute walk. We used the free wireless internet to stream jazz in the morning (with a cup of coffee) and it couldn't have been more relaxing. Bed was very comfortable and we found the elevators to be pretty quick. I routinely stay at 'business' hotels and the Westin was going to be our backup plan. This was a great change of pace and we will definitely do it again.
