Check in was easy, and the staff was informative and nice. She gave me the option of the town or water view. Of course I wanted the water view. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to Lake Michigan, especially on a beautiful sunny day. It is a family friendly hotel, with a pool, and a small corner shop on the 1st floor for snacks and drinks. The location was within walking distance of Grant Park, Millenium Park, Navy Pier, and more. We came to experience the Taste of Chicago, and enjoy all the different cuisines they offered that we don’t have back home.
Secondly,
Homewood Suites has a restaurant attached. Called Leiya. It’s a delicious place for flavor Asian food. I spent $150 for 3-5 meals, vegetable fried rice, and fries. It was a bit pricey, but the food was delicious.
Now to the not so good part.
The suite we stayed in had the bathroom in the bedroom, instead of the main area where we walk in. Guests had to go in and out of the private bedroom.
It has a quaint kitchenette, with limited pots, pans, bowls, plates, etc. The room was pretty clean, but there was mold on the side of the bathtub/shower. For the price, it was disappointing.
You will also need to pay for parking. The hotel does have a $70 valet fee per night. There is a public parking area in front of the hotel, and prices vary due to your needs.
