As we were doing Route 66, this hotel was ideally placed. Check in is on floor 23 (luckily all the lifts are super-speedy) and we were able to do this immediately as there were no queues. The only thing that put us off was that a motorbike was being delivered to the hotel so that the following day we could begin our trip. The hotel receptionist informed us that there was a charge of $45 for the privilege of us parking the bike overnight at the front of the hotel (valet parking not given for motorcycles). We weren't able to park it in a secure location, just literally outside the building with a traffic cone placed by the front wheel (I put the traffic come there as it was in an empty parking space). The hotel itself is clean but clearly dated. Nothing a bit of decor and soft furnishings couldn't sort out. The view of the Chicago skyline from our window was amazing and we watched both sunset and sunrise. We opted for room only as we decided to walk to Lou Mitchell's for breakfast (fabulous experience). Grant Park is about 25 minutes away (walking) and worth a visit. All in all, for just one night not bad. Be careful of getting stiffed on parking charges
