Wonderful hotel!”
Amazing! Will definitely stay again.
Expected more”
We were relocated to another room due to an awful smell. Disappointed that there wasn't a refrigerator or microwave. Front desk were efficient but not engaging.
Granddaughters Wedding.”
Meh”
First time visit”
Family Adventure”
We stayed at the Hotel Blake with three families - a set of grandparents and two families with children ranging in age from 15 down to 2. Everyone had a great time. The friendly people at the desk really seemed to care that we had a good time and were very helpful in getting us to places and making sure we had all the information we needed.
Fine stay”
It was an ok experience.
Great quick stay! ”
Hotel Blake Topps”
Our stay was wonderful. We could walk to places we wanted to see, the room was very clean, comfortable, beds wonderful. Food in the attached Restaurant was wonderful. everywhere in the hotel and restaurant very clean. We would go back again.
Great service”
Nice comfortable rooms”
Reception staff was nice enough to upgrade our room at no extra charge. We were surprised to see a large room with comfortable beds and full-size windows. Bathrooms were clean and extra-large. Free wi-fi was provided. Only catch was parking was not free. Expect to pay $28/day (self) or $48/day (valet).
Clean room, nice pillows, friendly staffs”
It's ok to stay for few days. ”
The hotel has many stairs. It was hard to move the luggages. The location is a bit far from Main Street and downtown.
Nice hotel - friendly staff - good location”
A hotel with attentive and friendly staff”
The hotel convinced through its friendly staff and nice rooms, located quite centrally in town. A nice stay for business travelers.
great location, horrible breakfast”
Lovely Hotel and Service with a Smile!”
The hotel had a homey atmosphere, not like the larger hotels with impersonal service. The corner room we had was large and very comfortable. The staff was friendly, efficient and accommodating. The location was perfect for our purposes.
Great location for the event we attended”
We loved our quiet room, which was cooled down to 68 degrees for our arrival on the hot (90 degrees) day we checked in. We also appreciate the great restaurant, The Custom House Tavern, which is adjoining the hotel. We always have great meals and excellent service there! PS The Custom House Burger is a favorite for lunch.
A bit old but nice hotel with great location.”
Situated right downtown an easy cab ride will get you to McCormick for under $10. Many great eats around. Its Chicago! Check out Miller's pub just around the block on Adams and Wabash. the staff are helpful and friendly. Not sure about the restuarant at the hotel. I had to hit up some of my favs while in town. Potbelly's right next door has a great breakfast during the week!
Great hotel with really friendly service”
The hotel was really nice. The location was nice, not directly downtown, but within walking distance. The hotel staff were super great; really helpful and friendly.
