We loved our stay at the Blake Hotel! The staff was friendly, the rooms were nice, and the hotel is convenient to many of the Chicago attractions. It seems to be far enough off the main roads to be quiet and safe. I felt completely safe walking around at night. There's a CVS and 7/11 convenience store that are both within a 2-3 blocks.

I liked everything about this Hotel, friendly staff conveniently located, great eating places we were able to walk to restaurants at night. They thought of everything each room has something so simple as an umbrella for use (I have never seen a hotel provide umbrellas. and we needed it!). I would stay again, and again and again, no question.

Impressed and unexpected high quality cool vibe room, the smell of pot permitted, but beyond that the hotel itself in the room was very comfortable. The surrounding area is a little hit or miss.
