its my last night here and im a little sad
the bathroom was enormous and gorgeous, the people were friendly and the maid service was great! the first night here we took the shuttle from the airport and the guy driving it, offered us some suggestions for dinner after we asked him where the good places were. he told us about a few places and helped us get our luggage up to our room. when we asked him how to get a cab he told us that we didnt need to call one he would drive us for free to the restaurant, and left a hotel card with us, saying if he wasnt busy when we finished he would come get us. thats service. the room was impeccably clean every night when we got back from a day out touring in chicago. the subway is within walking distance, like less than 2 minutes, from the entrance to the hotel. the subway ride into downtown chicago, right to the loop, is about a half hour, so bring something to do on the train. we bought 3 day passes for 12 dollars each and they really paid for themselves several times over, but that doesnt have to do with the hotel. right off hand i would say the only downsides i can think of are that the hotel is half an hour from downtown, and that the wireless internet is only free for one day. its 9.95 per day after that but included in that package are any local or nationwide long distance calls you make from the room. but the upside to those two things are that there are no loud city noises here to keep you up, and youre less likely to run into bandwidth hogs at 9.95 a day. overall i would definately stay here again(theres even a starbucks in the lobby) and recommend it to anyone who is a light sleeper or trying to save money. enjoy!
