Fun times in the big city.
The Renaissance is in a good location and the view is great from all the rooms (best I can tell.) It is so easy to get a cab right out the front door entrance. There's a convenient bus stop that took us directly to Shedd Aquarium and to the Field Museum. Also, two train stations are right out the back door. The hotel lobby always has a fresh smell and fresh flowers. My husband and I LOVED our king size bed. We slept great every night. The two negatives are that the hotel breakfast buffet is $20/person which I think is too much. You can a la carte breakfast items which makes it a little more affordable. You can also go down the street and eat for much less. Also, even though you are close to many things, you're still going to walk a lot so wear comfortable shoes or be prepared to pay for a taxi every you go if you don't like to walk. But, that's the fun of a big city, I guess.
