Those of you who have visited the Hotel Blake in Chicago, do you do their valet parking for $48/night, or do you recommend a cheaper parking garage nearby?
Beth F. replied:
We used Spothero.com to secure cheaper parking.

Do you ski? It looks like they may get some snow during the week. There's a ski area right at the resort. There are some indoor water parks if you like those. If you are OK with a bit of a drive, The House on the Rock is neat and you could do Cave of the Mounds in that same trip.

Does hotel Blake in Chicago give daily maid service? And, are there restaurants within walking distance? Just made our first reservation for there. Excited since it's...
Richard S. replied:
Don't know about maid service - usually we are there for a couple nights. Many restaurants within walking distance - otherwise a $5 Uber ride. Buddy Guys great blues club only a few blocks away. Eleventh City Diner close by - Russian Tea Room is also good. Too many others to mention.

I live in the area: Meli cafe, cafecito (Cuban), Chicago curry house (Indian), edwardo's (deep dish pizza) - though I'm a giordanos fan this is right across the street, Amarit (Thai), SRO (burgers)...these are all within 5 minute walk from the Blake.

Wildberry Pancake and cafe. Very good breakfast. We waited 30 minutes to get seated for breakfast but well worth the wait
Ok Addicts! Need advice. FOUNTAINS OR SUNSHINE RESORT?? I have two kids and we just want to chill at the hotel. Not going to parks. Thanks in advance! Ok GO!
Jeremiah S. replied:
Fountains, but if you stay at Orlando Sunshine Resort there is a park right beside it where you can race go carts, etc. But I liked the Fountains best, better location than Sunshine.
Jodie S. replied:
The Fun Spot is great for kids. We used Travelers Plus and got a great discount!

We bid on our room on Priceline and got it for about $150 a night. We ended up at Holiday Inn. It was nice enough. We did have a view of Alcatraz which was amazing. I know it's touristy, but we enjoy staying at the wharf. We walk everywhere and rent a car for a day or two to see some things further away.

Just there this weekend! If you like tapas or Spanish food try Emillio's on Ohio. It's amazing! The breakfast at Melia's is good and a lot of food for the money. Also on the weekend Sweetwater Tavern has a good brunch and was empty compared to any other place we found!
