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.

My stay was amazing. It almost got ruined when my Uber driver started to take off while I was halfway in the car, a gentleman named Michael who was on the staff of the hotel saw what was happening and stopped the driver…totally saved me from being seriously hurt or worse!! Hotel Blake treated us like family!

We enjoyed our stay and found the Blake clean and comfortable with outstanding staff. Parking is a little challenging and it’s a bit off the beaten path downtown, but all of the main tourist stuff is within a 10-20 minute walk.
