Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop by IHG
Everything was great except the bed. I was in room 1607 and the bed closest to the window needs to be replaced. Sags on the left side. Otherwise the room was great. The interstate was noisy and besides the police, ambulances and fire trucks, it was peaceful. But I guess that’s Chicago 😉.
