Stay Report - 5/18 - 5/19

Location: The hotel is located in Oakbrook Center, in the parking lot of the high end Oakbrook Center Mall. Nearby are a bunch of restaurants including a Gibson's Steakhouse (very recommended) as well as several other places. ORD is a 20 minute drive with no traffic, 35 minutes with traffic away and the Chicago Loop is 20 miles away.



Hotel: Definitely a strange looking building on the outside but what's inside is incredible. There's a gorgeous lobby with a small bar and coffee shop just off it. The 9th floor has a bar and restaurant I didn't visit but I hear is quite nice. Valet parking is thankfully a reasonable $15 because the parking lot is otherwise shared with the mall and it can be hard to find parking spaces.





Check In: Handled very well by an incredibly friendly agent. She thanked me for being SPG Gold, offered me points or a welcome amenity and then without asking upgraded me to an Executive Suite.

Room: Simply incredible. Hands down one of the nicest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. I only wish I was staying longer than a single night. There was a huge living room, dining area, large bedroom and amazing bathroom. Everything about it was wonderful.















Other: I had croissants and coffee from room service for breakfast which was a reasonable enough $29 and was all really tasty. On the weekends you can stay here for very reasonable rates (I paid just $134). It's a really nice hotel and wonderful to have a LM in Chicago.
