4.6We had a wonderful time in Chicago. We were warmly welcomed. When I told Charmaine our little one was excited to see the aquarium, she got a gift pack for my daughter. The room was clean and gorgeous. The beds are soooo comfy. Great location in the heart of the city. Pricey hotel worth a look. Check the travel sites. Great food at a major premium. Houlihan's around the corner is a better bet. Pick up aquarium tickets from concierge. We bought at the hotel & were able to walk right into the aquarium. Shedd closed early that day & the line was way, way out the door. With a 4 yr old & a baby, there's no way we would have ben able to wait. Hotel is centrally located, so it's easy to come and go throughout the day. Critical if you're traveling with little people!<br> This is a hotel that holds themselves to a very high standard. We had some very minor problems, e.g. broken soap holder, not enough toiletries for 4 people, a travel crib, not a regular crib the 1st night. Problems were immediately fixed. When appraised of problems, staff (Millerod) go way above & beyond. We also left some items. (First time traveling with new baby.) Debbie and Christine in housekeeping shipped them to us the next business day. A great hotel with great staff who are very proud of their well-deserved reputation.
