My kind of town(and Hotel 71) Chicago is....
My first trip ever to Chicago was fantastic in part due to Hotel 71. Looking out my 34th floor window I could see 7 bridges over the Chicago river. I was right across from the Marina Towers and the Trump building. The Magnificient Mile crossed the Michigan bridge right caddycorner from the entrance of the hotel. And the Corner Bakery was two buildings over on the corner, of course. Busses stopped right across the street from the entrance of the hotel,and theaters were two blocks around the corner,as was the "L".It really doesnt get any better than that. Hotel 71s staff was accomodating,friendly, and ever present. The room was very large and clean. And the price was right! Not only would I recommend Hotel 71 highly, I intend to stay there again.
I always take the double decker bus trip and bring a map with me to locate all the sights I want to see. The bus gives you an overall tour of the city and the knowledgeable guides give you information. I then revist all the things I have marked on my map using public transportation and walking tours from City guidebooks.

Everything I wanted in a hotel!
So glad I stayed at Hotel 71 for four nights in October! My room was good sized. The view of the river was SO NICE - I could see 7 bridges and some incredible architecture - including the Trump building. I had room service for dinner twice and both times it was better than expected - and arrived very hot and fresh! It was more food than I expected or needed and a good value! The staff was very accommodating. The hotel was clean overall and in great condition. I was pleased with the flatscreen tv, desk, dresser and storage in my room. I would have liked to have had a regular shower head in addition to the rain shower...I dont like it coming down on my head all the time. Cant ask for a better location! I will definitely stay at Hotel 71 again!
Be aware of new increased? sales tax! I incorrectly thought I was saving (compared to California sales tax).

Ok hotel for a quick trip
The hotel was convenient to get to attractions in the city. Room was clean. However, I was put in a room right next to the elevator which constantly sounded like carts running across the hallway. Next time, I would request one away from it.
