I guess i should only book through Marriott. As a Platinum Elite, they didnt have my number until i gave it to the front desk. They already had my room assigned so there was no upgrade. My room was tucked in some back corner directly next to and across from the housekeeping so everytime i left the room i was surrounded by laundry carts. The restaurant bar closes at 10pm even with a bar full of consumers, it closes at 10pm....not sure what that was about

This property lacks the customer care. I experienced an issue at midnight, was downgraded to a room that allegedly was the same rate as the one I was moved to. I highly doubt it but because I was tired, I dismissed it. The woman, while nice, was thanking me for not being upset instead of trying to go above and beyond to make it right. I booked a lakeview room and was told that because I was on a low floor I shouldn't expect to see the lake - that just makes no sense, maybe don't call it a lakeview room if that's the case. This place is not ADA compliant and the front lobby is so busy, you can barely move around. I found it very funny that the staff was referring people to use the Hilton services across the street (microwave, coffee, etc). Against my better judgement, I stayed here instead of my preferred Hilton. Won't ever make that mistake again. Overall, not up to my standards. Room was old, clearly plumbing or sewage issues in the building. Nothing charming about this place and lack of customer service made it 10 times worst. I will never stay here again.

We stayed at the Blackstone due to its proximity to a concert at Soldier Field. It’s a gorgeous old hotel! Love how they’ve updated the rooms and bath to me modern but classic to fit the feel of the building.
