It’s important for people who are planning on staying there that there is no bar and no restaurant inside the property. There was a restaurant attached to the hotel that served only breakfast and lunch. No dinner. This was somewhat disappointing.

Blake Hotel was excellent for us because it was central to tourist attractions (Millennium Park, River Walk) but also walkable to restaurants and breweries further to the south. Customer service was fantastic, hotel was clean, quiet and we would definitely stay again

Our stay at Hotel Blake was very nice! The staff were very accommodating and kind. This was our first trip to Chicago and it was a great time. We arrived early to the hotel due to an early flight and we were lucky enough to have a room ready instead of waiting until check in time. The room was nice and big which my partner and I enjoyed. Our room did face the street so there were moments where sirens were loud but nothing more than we expected staying in the city. The room was mostly clean but there were parts of the room that had dust (mainly in the bathroom) when we arrived but the housekeeper kept us stocked with towels and was very attentive during our stay. The outside was under construction but the inside was still very beautiful. Very walkable location (subway lines very close to the hotel as well!) kind staff, and nice to look at! We would definitely come again. :)

Hotel Blake is a fantastic option when staying in the Loop in downtown Chicago. Great location within the city and close proximity to all the train lines. Staff was super kind and helpful. Room was great, no complaints at all. Surprisingly good coffee available for guests each morning. Would definitely stay here again!
