    Boutique feel with friendly staff near all the major attractions tucked away from the high traffic areas. Which makes it a wonderful easy option for those driving into the city .

    My girlfriend and I really enjoy the location and how close it was to a lot of of the things we wanted to do and see. Also, it’s really close to the subway/metro line.

    Spacious modern rooms. Very clean. Great fitness room with large windows and light. Close to public transportation (blue line straight to Ohara airport). A bit noisy at night time (sirens)

    Superb

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Hotel was kept an excellent condition. Room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Located in a great area with lots of restaurant choices. The lounge area had iced water 24/7. Coffee and tea were available during the morning and the day. Only water was available at night. There was an ice maker and single vending machine which only offered a few drinks. I wouldn't advise bringing snacks if you have late night munchies. The room did have the small coffee maker with tea packets. Not really a fan of those though.

    Great location. We took the train from the airport and our stop was a 3 minute walk to the hotel. The staff were very helpful --every person on staff we interacted was friendly and helpful.

    Mi experiencia en el Hotel Blake fue impecable desde que llegué, muy limpio, hands up to Eric que nos atendió amablemente en todo momento. La habitación de 10, grande y limpia al igual que el baño, la cama bastante cómoda para descansar. Sin duda regresaría a este hotel que tiene excelente ubicación para salir y disfrutar de Chicago.

    Very nice location and having a diner attached downstairs was great Nothing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean rooms. Nice staff. Updated interiors. General location. Pillows were too bunched up. Gave me headaches. I need flat or contoured pillows. That's my only complaint. Oh, the water control handle in the shower very difficult to use. Tight to turn and not very logical to use.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was spacious and interesting, staff were super helpful and friendly, lobby was wonderful for working, location was great for getting around. n/a

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Overall had a very comfortable stay. We enjoyed our room, which was quite large and comfortable. A little noisy with our window facing the alley. The first doorman we interacted with was absolutely delightful and so helpful. Unfortunately the other shift was covered by a somewhat surly and very unhelpful staff member. Front desk staff was pleasant. The cafe connected to the hotel had very good food with a huge menu and reasonable prices. Overall, it was a solid hotel in a great location with a very good price.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It is located in a convenient location. The accommodation is clean and well-equipped with everything you need. Above all, the staff were very friendly, which made my stay enjoyable.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    However, there are a few drawbacks: 1. The shower design is somewhat inconvenient. The shower hose is concealed, and there is no handheld showerhead available. 2. If you need to shorten your stay, the hotel does not provide refunds for unused nights (approximately $200–300 per night), even when advance notice is given. 3. The area can be quite noisy due to nearby construction work and the frequent sirens from emergency vehicles, particularly fire engines. 4. There is no complimentary drinking water available in the room. Overall, while the location and service are good, these issues may affect the comfort of your stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    No room service or restaurant in the hotel itself but multiple excellent restaurant selections nearby. The room was great - the sheets were a bit rough is my only complaint. Everything else was perfect! Large room that was clean, well maintained, up to date, and nicely decorated.

    Check was fast and easy and everyone was very nice and helpful during the whole process.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great stay and staff. We’d come back.
