Decent hotel but poor experience
The hotel changed my reservation to a different (less desirable) type of room and did not offer me any discount or concession. The key cards would become demagnetized if they came anywhere NEAR a cell phone. We were there for 3 nights and I think we went through about 15 cards. It was incredibly inconvenient. Staff told us they were going to be switching the card system. I’ve never had that happen anywhere else.

Such a beautiful property in an amazing location. The staff were extremely helpful. The front desk agent, Diana, upgraded our room so we had an incredible view of Lake Michigan, Grant Park, Soldier Field, etc. she learned that we used to live down the street and she wanted to help us recreate our view! It was wonderful!

Beautiful hotel, lobby smells amazing!!!We picked this hotel because of the location. We went to a concert at Soldier Field. It was about a 20 min walk. Since there's no parking, we parked in the uncovered parking lot behind the hotel for $40 a night. The parking at Hilton across the street was $80. There were plenty of dining options around as well. We would definitely stay here again.

16 August 2024
This hotel has gone down hill in the past 3 years. The front desk staff is rude and argumentative. I was put in a room thst had no dresser to un pack and only a shelf and a low bar the was blocked by the safe. There was no water pressure in the shower and the water never got hot. We grabbed a quick bite at the restraint. The food was expensive and terrible. After spending a great deal of money hosting guests here for my daughters wedding what I got this time compared to then was like night and day. I forgot to mention a brand new pair of AirPods was taken out of a bag that I had stored under a bench. Security never followed up and I was blown off at check out. Never again will I stay at the Blackstone.

It was a nice hotel, however because we booked through Expedia there was a $15 dollar charge per day for the WIFI. Which is BONKERS.

They need to add security, both at the doors and in the elevator. Should have to use key to get floor. We did not feel safe.
