Westin Chicago River North

Westin exceeded our expectations. Hotel is just 2-3 blocks from subway station. We were able to take "blue line" directly from O'HAre for $2.25 each. Comparable taxi service was about $35. . Large room w/small fridge, lg bath with great shower. hotel right across street from House of Blues. Within walking distance of shopping areas on State and Michigan Ave. Walked to Navy Pier, Art Institute and museum area. Lots of restaraunts nearby on Rush, Dearborn. Corner bagel shop a good priced establishment for breakfast. Whole Foods about 5 blocks further down Dearborn. Like most large cities, hotel food was very expensive - including mini bar and room service so we did not use. Ask for a river-view room. Very friendly staff and adequate housekeeping.
