1st Trip to Chicago

The trip was awesome and I am ready to move to Chicago just as soon as they change their winters. The hotel was better than I thought it would be. Definitely upscale and what a great value for the money. I will stay again on my next trip and tell all of my friends.

For a healthy and quick breakfast, try Wow Bao, the asian dumpling restaurant in the same building. We had breakfast there 3 days in a row.
