Leaving an honest review: the room was good enough but not great. We were on the 11th floor. The view was beautiful, mostly on the right corner facing the Field Museum and park, as there was a large black thing on the rooftop of the building directly in front of our window. But loooved the big windows and view!!
Furniture was not very comfortable, the kitchen lacked necessities like dish soap and a sponge to wash dishes without running the dishwasher. There were only 3 plates for a room that sleeps 6, so I constantly needed to wash things. There was 1 pot and 1 skillet which was all scratched up and the Teflon coating was peeling, which is highly toxic. So I only had 1 pan to work with basically. So that was an obstacle while trying to make a good meal for my family.
Breakfast was fine, I guess. Super busy and very hard to find a table in the Lodge in the first weekend and week in October. We had to sit outside one of the days. But we did get there in the last half hour of the meal. My kids ate fruit loops each morning and I had the egg, potato and meat they served. So it was a win to have breakfast each day. Oh, and as an eco-friendly mom, I was disappointed with the use of the cheapest plastic dishes in the Lodge. Very wasteful and lots of BPA.
Loved the block it was located on! Trader Joe’s was 3 min. walk away. Super easy access to the Field Museum, Planetarium etc. So overall, we had a good stay, buts it’s always all about the details.
