I stayed at the Blackstone for 5 nights during October. Overall, I was pleased with the hotel. The staff are friendly and the facilities still look fairly new.

We are in Chicago for just one night but wanted to get a location central to the Shedd and Field Museum. We couldn't have done better! Beautiful room and friendly staff! We weren't expecting a lake view room and got up graded. It is amazing to look out into the harbor and see the boats. Truely beautiful! more
