I typically stay at Hampton Inn nothing more, sometimes maybe a little “better”/higher end but never “lower”. However, I found an 1/2 off deal on Expedia on the Inter-Continental @ 505 N Michigan Ave & thought “Ooh..! Inter-Continental! I haven’t stayed in one since 15-20 years ago for something someone else paid for… big mistake. #1 At a Hampton Inn they treat you nice, at an Intercontinental they treat you snooty. There is a level of “better attention” as in if you even look a little bit lost, someone will come up to you and ask if they can help you (perhaps to check if you belong hahaha) no, this lady was actually I believe room service staff and super helpful. So that kind of attention to detail is better at a higher end hotel, but this hotel is very OLD and dinky, the rooms are MINISCULE: VERY small. They did give us a nice high floor with a beautiful view but the room itself is VERY small. 2# The room was HOT, or VERY warm when we walked in, grimy and sweaty and already hot from our long flight with lots of delays. It took a good while for the A/C to kick in. After another full day out of the the room, we once again arrived to find it boiling… & take a while to cool down. I’m all for being environmental - and entering a room that feels like a meat locker/ice box is equally frustrating -& so bad for the environment, as in wasting energy on excessive A/C- this is more often the case in Florida where we are from, but this was the other extreme. 3# Parking is $88/night!!

Disliked: Staff & service
First the valet….dropping your car off is very congested but we did always manage to get in the space provided in front of the hotel…the gentlemen in front were always very helpful especially Mr. Will but I hated that you had to valet your car every time you returned then retrieve it from the basement….they did allow me to clean/wax my Yukon one evening only to find out they parked it off the property which really kinda pissed me off….for $88 a night I feel it shouldn’t had left the property and if that was the case I could had parked it myself cheaper and always had access to it…..Hidden fees…upon checking out I asked for my receipt and saw amenity fees plus all the taxes that came with it….each day you are charged amenity fees for the pool and exercise room in which we never even saw them…the mini bar….I get that they want to make money every way they can but the prices are ridiculous…you would think after the amount you pay to stay there they would cut you a break but they actually went the opposite direction….also checking in….we had two rooms and they charged I believe $125 a day each room for I guess extras…I paid $375 x 2…..$750 and after amenities charges and parking they managed to get almost all of it and also…the mini bar not only have ridiculous prices they are taxed also…one small shooter of Jim Beam which was $15 turned out to be $20.57….I read a lot of reviews before going and tried to keep a opened mind but it seemed the charges never stopped.won’t stay again
