"If you are staying in River North, do Priceline. Everytime we bid on a Saturday 4-star hotel, we have gotten $89 per night or less and ended w/ Marriott, Westin, or Sheraton. All excellent."

"In the Lobby bar they have their own brews. They had a Honey Wheat beer that was pretty good for only $5.75 (cheap for Chi standards). Being a fan of honey brown and honeyweiss, this was excellent."

"Definitely bring your own skates if you can, then it is free and no lines for rental. Only bad part about a nice Saturday is the number of people on the ice. Too crowded for an experienced skater."

"Brushetta was excellent for the price. Could use fresh mozerella. Stuffed pizza good as usual. Blue moon pitchers only $8!"

"Just be aware that parking is $53 per day here."

"Love this Westin. We stay here every time we are in downtown Chicago."
