What a great find! The Blake was amazing! The Staff were very helpful, the location in the South Loop is ideal for exploring Chicago. Walking distance from the Blue Line train from O'hare. I had a King Room and it was HUGE!! And all re-done.... I will stay here the next time I am in Chicago for sure.
