5. The hotel looks nice, but the service was HORRIBLE and we barely slept - the beds look nice but are uncomfortable, it was noisy, the walls must be thin, we could hear everything outside- we got very little sleep.

6. Finally, the hallways echoed horribly and the doors seemed to slam constantly, causing me to wake up several nights at around 2 or 3 AM.

7. The view from my room (and most, I gather) was horrible--the worn stone side of the neighboring building.

8. TV reception was horrible but we didn't go to Chicago to watch TV so we didn't mind that too much.

10. Against my better judgement (based on the horrible reviews) I booked a room at Hotel Blake based on their description online as well as the fact that their renovation was supposedly complete.
