Nice character building near Field Museum and Art Institute. Very friendly, helpful staff. Our view was on an alley looking at a wall, but we weren't there for our hotel view. And I would have liked a big tub instead of just a shower but not a deal breaker. All in all an excellent say in Chicago.

I stayed at the Hotel Blake in early November 2023 and it was a great experience. We arrived at the break of dawn and the hotel was kind enough to give us in early check-in. The location is in the South Loop and is near the blue and red lines for easy public transportation. The staff were all very kind and helpful with everything. It’s close enough to the Loop but definitely much quieter. Would definitely recommend to others.

It was a very nice stay. My only complaint is the shower, very little control over the temperature resulted in freezing or scalding. Also, not great pressure

Beautiful hotel and very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Wife and i stayed for two days and enjoyed the decor in the room, loved the neat lamps. My only minus would be the beds being a bit low, though very comfortable, and the bathroom needed more lighting. Would definitely stay again.

We were promptly greeted upon entering the lobby. The valet/ bellhop service was very attentive and welcome. The front desk answered questions about the area. Room was clean, housekeeping service was great. Most local attractions were within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this hotel/location and plan to return when visiting Chicago in the future. I feel like this hotel is a hidden gem.
