If you just need to get away from things for a couple days, or you want a great gift idea for an upcoming anniversary or birthday, this is something you may want to consider.
I just recently stayed here for a weekend and I have to tell you that it was the best experience I have ever had with a hotel chain. You get a large two room suite that includes a microwave, 2 televisions with cable, fridge, pull out sofa bed, ironing board and iron, hair dryers...you name it, it's there. For the price you also get a free breakfast (and I'm talking a HUGE selection that includes your choice of eggs, bacon, waffles, bagels, cereal and fruit) FREE cocktails and snacks for two hours every evening and the hotel has a nice hot tub, pool and workout room.
The weekend price for all this was only $110 per night. There is also room service, a restaurant (with Starbucks) and a lounge on the facility. Put in a request for the 'executive rooms' that are usually available on a weekend - the rooms are the BEST. For visitors, they offer shuttle service, or the CTA Blue Line is a comfortable walk down the road.
