We had low expectations for the Hard Rock - our friends picked it and we went along for the ride. We had a great room - 3603 - so the views from 36 were intense. It was a little small for the money, but very "W" like (I took to calling it the "U"). Their in house restaurant was China Grill which was surprisingly high quality. The room had everything we needed - high speed internet, a big TV with DVD / CD player, big bathroom, and plenty of closet space. The fitness center was fine - a couple of bikes, treadmills, and elipticals and a modest set of weight machines and free weights. The staff was friendly and everything went well. The location is perfect - the corner of Michigan and Wacker - right in the middle of everything.

This is a classic old hotel that dates from 1927. Of course it has had multi million dollar remodelings, so the facilities are up to date, but it still has that feel of a classy old building.
And it is massive. It has zillions of rooms, and bunches of restaurants and shops on the ground level.
Over the years I have attended events here, heard jazz in one of the bars, delivered pizza to the folks in the rooms, etc.
Of course part of the history of this place was the riots in '68 which took place right outside but that is ancient history to most readers, right?

THEY WERE GREAT AT HELPING ME MOVE. BROUGHT EXTRA BOXES AND PACKING SUPPLIES I NEEDED FOR LAST MINUTE ITEMS I NEEDED PACKED. THEY BROUGHT 3 MOVERS SO IT ALL WENT PRETTY FAST FROM POINT A TO POINT B. I ALSO HIRED THROUGH THEM A LADY TO MEET ME AT MY NEW HOME,SHE CLEANED MY HOUSE WHILE I WAS BUSY UNPACKING THINGS,WHICH WAS REAL STRESS RELIEVER FOR ME AND HELPED ME UNPACK AND PUT ITEMS AWAY IN THERE PROPER PLACES. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REAL EXTRA BONUS,THAT THEY OFFERED. HER FEE WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE MOVING FEE,I HAD TO PAY HER SEPARATE,BUT TO ME IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. THEY ALSO OWN A STORAGE CENTER IF YOU EVER NEED TO STORE ITEMS.

I rented a car here through my dealership while my car was in for service. They were extremely busy so all the workers were not as friendly. I was waiting for about 20 minutes for my car to come out with no explanation. It was busy but I felt like the staff could have been a bit more attentive.

If you want a cab from this company(American Taxi, Chgo)*, give extra time. Two separate incidents here. First, planned a cab for an interview on one of the hottest days of the year. I asked that the air conditioning was on very cool prior to pick up. When the cab arrived it was 15 minutes late and actually cooler outside than in. The plastic shield between front and back of car blocked all air. Second incident, I called for a cab 1/2 hr before I needed to leave for work on a very rainy night. I was told that if I wanted to reserve that I'd have to call at least one hour before pick up. If I wanted one now, they could give me a time frame of 10-30 minutes. So I called another cab service and they were at my door at exactly 10:30 as need. Thank God for options.

My friend recommended this service to me and I used it on my last trip to the airport. I was really impressed with their prompt and professional service. They picked me up on time from my home and dropped me straight to the baggage terminal. They had really well-kept and clean vans and the drivers were very helpful and even stowed my luggage for me. I love their service. Remember you have to make reservations -- either on the phone or online

I used this travel agency to get tickets for an international tour. They book for travel nationwide or internationally. The agents here were great, they gave me a few packages to choose from and they were all really reasonably priced. The service at this company is very good-- the salesman even hand delivered my ticket to my door. I will definitely use them again!

This is a gorgeous hotel located in downtown Chicago. The architecture of the building is modern both inside and out. The hotel is classy and hip. There is a dj playing music and it has a lounge-like feel. My friend has thrown several parties here. There is also a heated area just outside the lobby.

Very recently my family and myself visited Tamil Nadu to see the various marvelous temples and to perform prayers. The temples were stunning as expected and we did manage to offer our prayers to the gods.
However our experience in traveling here was spoilt due to the poor quality of services offered by Alien Travel. The driver including the owner were rude, the driver was terrible at being punctual often going missing for almost an hour, took us to hotels that lacked basic hygiene causing us to have stomach upsets (my sister was hospitalized), and changed hotels due to their own poor booking processes. Our experiences are unfortunately influenced by those who bring us there. Thus despite the hard work of Indian ancestors who created and maintained marvelous temples, structures and sites dating 1400 years ago, it can be tarnished very quickly by Alien Travel only seeking to maximize their returns. This doesn't seem fair to these Indian ancestors. So let's do our part to truly enjoy India by choosing our travel agents well.
