Recent Hotel Blake Review: "Conveniently located: We arrived at Union Station with just a couple small bags. It was a nice day, so we walked to the hotel in about 10 minutes. We attended a couple soccer matches at Soldier Field and walked there in about 25-30 minutes. Millennium Park is about a 10 minute walk. We wanted to visit Lincoln Park Zoo. We inquired with reception, and were told we could catch the bus across the street from the hotel, and that we could buy bus passes at the CVS pharmacy located a block from the hotel. We bought the passes, caught the bus, and were at the zoo in no time at all. If we'd wanted to catch the train, it would have been easy, however, although the L was close, we didn't hear it inside the hotel. Starbucks is located across the street as is the main branch of the Chicago Public Library. There is a Panera within 2 blocks. Pot Belly Sandwiches is located a couple doors down where we grabbed some food on our way out of town. We had breakfast at a Mexican restaurant, La Cocina, located a couple blocks away on S. Clark. It was nothing fancy, but was very good and for $15 we were both satisfied with the meal. Buddy Guy's blues club, Legends, is just a few blocks away on S. Wabash, where we enjoyed a great lunch featuring jambalaya, gumbo, and cornbread. It's a wonderful place to listen to live music in the evening, having visited the club several years ago, we didn't realize we were staying so close until we stumbled upon it by accident. Helpful, Efficient Staff: Besides helping us with the bus, we were checked in and assigned a room in less than 2 minutesa€“no kidding. the doorman were always inquiring if we needed anything cabs, directions, etc. Room: Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We booked a King Classic and it was perfect for 2 people. It had a very comfortable arm chair and ottoman, a nice flat panel TV and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. No, there wasn't a chest of drawers for clothes, but there was a closet with severa"
