While I was a little leery of staying in one of the world's biggest hotels, due to potential service disasters, they were above and beyond what was expected. Our room itself had more than enough space for my girlfriend and I which was a pleasant surprise. We were incredibly early to check into the hotel 11 a.m. on a Thursday and were promptly into our room within ten minutes of walking through the lobby doors. The bathroom was quite spacious as well, only problem there was no fan for ventilation to avoid the shower steam. Concierge service was great at the front desk and recommended a restaurant that fitted exactly what it was were seeking for dinner. The "Big Bar" in the lobby was waaaay too overpriced for what it was. Although it is the biggest bar in the U.S. it doesn't mean you can have the biggest prices either. Besides that we didn't eat at any of the hotel restaurants because we wanted to see the city more. The location is perfect if you want to be in the center of the touristy area of Chicago. Everything from the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, Museums, Millennium Park, were withing walking distance. A great place to stay in a city that was well worth the trip.
