The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

8/10 Good

"The location is good. It’s in walking distance of a lot of good places to eat and things to do the bar on the roof is a little smaller than I was expecting, especially from the pictures. The breakfast in the hotel was really good. I just didn’t know there was gonna be a few stairs in the room I was traveling with a few people that have some trouble with mobility, but it wasn’t too bad and some of the blankets could probably be replaced. They had a few holes in them, but overall, it was really nice place to stay. They were also really nice and stored our luggage before our train departed."
