The
Chicago
Athletic
Associatio
hotel
is
amazing.
As
a
tourist
it
has
everything
you
want,
big
clean
rooms,
very
nice
staff
who
are
friendly
and
accommodating
and
a
fantastic
location
close
to
"the
loop"
and
all
modes
of
transit
around
Chicago
that
make
it
a
perfect
hotel
for
touring
the
city
and
taking
in
the
sights.
Beyond
the
pragmatic
advantages,
it's
just
a
gorgeous
hotel
in
general,
it's
very
lavish
interior,
somehow
it
smells
fantastic
EVERYWHERE
in
the
hotel,
the
rooms
have
a
cool
athletic
theme
(we
had
a
pommel
horse
in
our
room!)
and
generally
the
atmosphere
is
very
Chicago
feeling.
The
staff
are
fantastic,
especially
their
front
desk
staff
who
gave
us
some
great
tips
for
local
eateries
and
were
always
pleasant
and
quickly
response
when
we
needed
anything
for
the
room.
The
games
room
is
great,
features
chess
and
some
pool
tables
and
a
nice
bar
with
some
casual
eats.
They
also
offer
Shake
Shack
right
to
the
room
which
is
very
convenient
if
you've
been
busy
all
day
and
just
need
to
grab
a
late
lunch
or
evening
snack.
Besides
that,
the
location
is
phenomenal,
with
underground
parking
very
close
by
if
you
choose
not
to
opt
for
valet
parking,
it's
also
a
stones
throw
to
take
the
L
train,
bus
or
even
a
quick
jaunt
to
the
Metra
lines
to
Union
Station.
There
are
a
ton
of
local
shops
nearby
for
pretty
much
anything
you'd
need,
from
pharmacy
to
five
below
or
even
a
target,
everything
is
within
reach
quickly
from
this
location.
It's
even
right
across
from
the
park
which
makes
a
great
spot
to
wind
down
after
a
night
sight
seeing.
The
only
minor
critique
I'd
have
of
our
room
is
that
it
didn't
offer
much
of
a
view,
but
given
the
location
there
really
is
only
one
side
of
the
hotel
(facing
the
park)
that
would
have
a
nice
view
anyways.
So
if
a
spectacular
view
of
the
city
from
where
you're
crashing
for
the
night
is
a
must,
this
might
not
suit
you.
That
said,
I'd
recommend
just
going
to
the
observation
deck
or
the
Sears
tower
and
getting
a
much
better
view
than
any
hotel
to
begin
with
if
that's
what
you're
looking
for!
As
a
tourist,
this
was
the
perfect
spot
for
us
to
base
out
of
and
see
as
much
of
the
city
as
we
could,
I
was
very
impressed
with
the
hotel
overall
and
would
happily
stay
here
again,
if
you're
looking
for
a
luxurious
place
to
stay
without
insane
prices,
this
is
it.
