I booked this at the last minute, and it was a good choice. By this time, all 3-5 star hotels were in the $500 range per night, so we did not go wrong with the Hard Rock. It's not one of the bigger hotels on Michigan Ave, but that was just fine.

Very "Hard Rockish". We felt very old. Most guests under 35 years old.

Room 2902 (29th floor, view North)The negative: couple of chips in the paint, sketchy wifi, cost of a Pepsi (well it is a hotel).The extraordinary: The Staff, the view, the bed, the food, the staff, the wine, the shower, the climate control, the location, the staff, the view, the bed, checking out without having to check out. and did I mention the staff, the view and the bed. and finally, the staff. New lifelong customer.

Great location, very friendly staff, can walk to shopping, parks, etc.They let us check out late and then they stored our bags until we needed to leave for the airport. Would stay there again.
