Cozy gem
I love the Blake! Took a while for The hot water in the very nice shower to come on and the toilet had some Flushing issues. But I will be back to this cozy gem.

Title: Elegant Stay in the Heart of Chicago Hotel Blake offers a luxurious experience in the vibrant city of Chicago. From the moment you step into the grand lobby, you're greeted with warmth and sophistication. The staff is attentive and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is memorable. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and equipped with modern amenities. The comfortable beds provide a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring the city. The views from higher floors are breathtaking, offering a glimpse of Chicago's iconic skyline. The location is unbeatable, situated in the historic Printers Row neighborhood, with easy access to top attractions such as Millennium Park, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Grant Park. Plus, the hotel is within walking distance to numerous dining and shopping options. One highlight of Hotel Blake is its excellent dining options. The on-site restaurant serves delicious cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients, and the bar offers an impressive selection of craft cocktails. Whether you're visiting Chicago for business or pleasure, Hotel Blake provides the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in the Windy City.

The staff here was amazing! Everyone was kind and accommodating. We loved the hotel overall, only downside is it was $50 a day for valet parking but that is pretty much the standard at any hotel in Chicago. Although pricey, the valet experience was great! Never waited long for our car to be brought around and it was nice to not have to worry about parking when arriving back to the hotel, as we did come and go pretty frequently.
