Posh. Review on Illinois

The Le Meriden Hotel is the only hotel I have ever stayed when I was in Chicago, Illinos. In fact it is the only hotel I've stayed in Illinois..

After we landed at O’Hara Airport, and collected our luggage, we had a taxi drive us to our hotel. It took about half an hour even though the hotel is only 15 miles from the Airport.

The hotel is in a nice location.

The lobby was large, and reminded me of a posh European Hotel. It had a number of sofas, with two chairs around each, and a coffee table between them.

The check-in went smoothly and a bellboy took us to our room.

The room was decorated in jewel colors. I was happy to see it was air-conditioned, because we were here in August, and it was hot and humid.

There was a queen sized bed with a night table on each side. There was a window that overlooked Michigan Avenue.

The closet was large, and had a safe in it. There was a large dresser with a TV set on top. Next to it was a mini-bar, (that we never used).

There were two cosy chairs and a small table between them. We had wood chair and a large desk, and on the desk was a telephone and an outlet for a computer.

All of the wooden items were made out of made out of mahogany.

The bathroom was tiled and had a tub/shower, toilet, and a sink. The sink was in a medium sized cabinet, with two drawers to put your bathroom things. Next to the sink was a basket of amenities. On the wall next to the door was a hair drier.

The cafe on the lower level was normal cafe for breakfast and lunch. For dinner it became an Italian dinning room. The servers were from the Opera class at the U. of Chicago. Every so often, without warning, one of them started to sing. The others joined in, and it was a fabulous experience.

We found the staff helpful and the room was always clean. That's what I want in a hotel that I'm staying in.
