The room was great, clean and very confortable. Did not have valet parking like it says in website or at least there wasnt anyone at the moment i arrived at the hotel. The website does not show price of parking and found out that was $79 per night, a little to much for not been valet.

I had a nice two night stay at the Blackstone. It’s well maintained, clean and staff are friendly. It’s near the river and was a 5-10 minutes walk to the Art Institute and Auditorium Theatre. Bath products were lovely and the robe was so comfy. I was a solo female traveller and I felt very safe and comfortable at this property. Two small considerations: the restaurant closes by 10. Coming home from the theatre, it would have been nice to have a nightcap option that didn’t require an uber ride. The second suggestion would be for reusable cups and a non-caffeinated tea in the room. I reused a coffee cup for tea and unfortunately it had a “cafe au lait” hint!
