Review of Hotel Blake

The hotel is very nice, but the staff makes the stay awesome! Thank you Hotel Blake for hiring such warm, helpful staff. Special shout out to Showtime, who went out of his way to make sure we were always well taken care of. Our daughter is in school close by and we will use this location for all our visits!

Beautiful hotel just outside the loop, a few blocks from Michigan Ave and Grant Park. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and "Showtime" bellhop was more like a concierge, always helpful and friendly. Live music in the lobby on one evening of our stay, and the location was perfect. Starbucks across the street, Meli's restaurant (also excellent) connected to the hotel lobby. Our room was moderate sized and well-furnished. We were close to the elevator but did not find it exceptionally noisy. (Our room had ear plugs for sensitive sleepers but we did not need them.) We would strongly recommend this lovely hotel to anyone visiting downtown Chicago for work or play (or a little of both!).

Beautiful older boutique hotel that located in Printer's Row just outside the Loop. Warm staff with a wonderful restaurant onsite and many other options nearby. Two blocks walk to the Metro and an easy walk to Grant Park and Michigan Avenue.

We were there for this weekend's annual rival NFL game..Bears vs. Vikings. This hotel was the best! Great location, a clean and VERY spacious room, and amazing service. The front desk staff and concierge were so helpful. The bathroom is superb..two sinks, a large walk-in shower, extra amenities, and the towels were so large and fresh-smelling. The bed was great! There is a wonderful breakfast cafe, that also offers room service, but is also open for drinks and other food pretty much all day. It's a great place for an enjoyable Chicago experience. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Hotel Blake!!!

Hotel Blake is small but with nice sized rooms and everything you could want for a comfortable stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the check in was fast and professional. Timothy was fantastic and always asking us how our stay was. You don't really need a mini bar or a shop within the hotel because it is just a few short steps from convenience stores. The bathroom and showers are spacious and clean. Housekeeping on the 4th floor on our stay this marathon weekend was superb. The gym is adequate but a bit outdated. It has a multipurpose weight machine that is pretty useless. There is enough space to put in at least three low commerical machines in there and it would make a great difference. I would stay here again without hesitation. If you do I am sure you'll be very happy you did..
