This school has a preschool elementary in it. My husband and I looked into it for our son a couple of months ago. The lady we spoke to here was very friendly and showed us their classrooms. The rooms looked pretty good and well stocked with things for young children to learn and play with. We got to meet with a teacher as well and she seemed very friendly and passionate about her work. Overall, it seems like a wonderful option that my husband and I are defintely thinking about going with.

Westin advertises its luxurious and comfortable hotel rooms and their advertisements are right on the dot. My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a convention and we were amazed at the comfy of their huge layered beds. The service here was amazing. We got a great deal on a hotel that really delivered five star service. We tried both their restaurant downstairs and the food from room service and both times we were very amazed with their fresh and tasty food. They also have a great little drinks and snack bar in the room (but be careful - its pretty expensive!). Great hotel to stay at if you are in Chicago.

Week of Oct. 5, 2008 . . .
We stayed at this location one year ago when it was still the City Center. Since then, the
Doubletree group has made some tasteful, fantastic improvments . The price is still
reasonable and the rooms and furnishings can rival many hotels in the area costing 100%
more. The heating and cooling controls for these rooms work nicely, a big hassle in several,
upscale hotels in Chicago. The entire staff is courteous and the people at the concierge desk
gave us great recommendations and reservations ( Thank you, gentlemen ! ).
If you want to go to the bar, it currently is rather makeshift, but we were told this is being
changed in the near future. The one surprise was a lack of a hair dryer in the bathroom.
I've become so accustom to this becoming the "norm", even in lesser hotels, that I didn't
take one with me. However, a call to the desk had a dryer to my room in less than five
minutes. Everything about this Doubletree on Ohio Street is well on the plus side.

My boyfriend and I wanted to have a nice, romantic getaway so we decided to give this place a try. It's the first of the Affinia chain to be located outside of New York. Even thought the hotel was was under construction at the time ( April 2008 to remodel a rooftop terrace) their staff was so helpful, and the accommodations were top notch. While the view is nothing to write home about, I could've lived in my room if Chicago wasn't such an amazing city. I'll definitely be back.
Pros: larger bathroom than expected for a boutique hotel, great location, beautiful room
Cons: construction at the time

We stayed at the Homewood Suites for 3 days and love it. We stayed in a suite and it was very comfortable. It is very close to everything. Free breakfast is eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuits & gravy etc. They also had a free dinner on Monday night that we weren't able to attend but it sure smelled good. The doormen and front desk are very pleasant.
Pros: Close to shopping

I stayed here 5 years ago for business and I like the hotel then because of the price and location. I was suprised to hear all of the upgrades they had made and was curious to see. I was def. happy! Rooms have flat screens and best of all my fav. soaps and shampoos, L'Occitane! lobby is very european and boutiquish, if that is a word! I will def. stay again, but this time when there is better weather! front desk, was very helpful in extending my stay when the plane was delayed.
Pros: new rooms, location, good staff

St. Joseph's loft with it's two bedrooms, living room, dining room, office, kitchen and bath was an amazing deal. The full breakfasts the monks serve was excellent. And it was a quiet retreat from the bustling city of Chicago. We plan to stay there again and again!
Pros: Good breakfast, Good parking, Good Value
Cons: Must take public tran
