Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop by IHG
Super helpful, knowledgeable with great communication through text as well. Everything was clean. Wish parking wasn’t so much money :(. The hotel staff went above and beyond for us. Even had a kind man offer to make me a sandwich after the restaurants were closed following a night out. Took the time ...

Great location, clean room, but the walls between rooms are paper thin - could hear the tv and conversations next door.
