"Amazing venue for a wedding"

10.0

I recently made my daughter’s wedding at the Blu. What an amazing experience from start to finish. Tara, the Catering Sales Manager was a pleasure to work with. She eludes such an amazing sense of knowledge, ideas , confidence, and execution. Literally nothing she was not able to accomplish. Tara made the entire year plus planning smooth and exciting. The weekend of the event, she shined, gracefully handling every request and adding many over the top touches that contributed to a perfect weekend. The Blu is lucky to have such an accomplished Catering Sales Manager. I look forward to working with her again.

"Location is great!"

8.0

Very nice hotel layout, balcony view was great and friendly staff was very accommodating. The hotel was close to all of our sightseeing areas. Only negative is that both queen beds 🛌 wasnt comfortable and it was sloping inward while feeling that the frame was unstable. Lost a star here down to a 4.

"Only for one night"

6.0

We stayed a night because were meeting friends for dinner and didn’t want to drive back home an hour away. The hotel is in a great location, middle of everything if this is your first time visiting Chicago. Customer service at the front desk, and valet were great they accommodated our needs. The room is the reason for my low ratings. There were water bottles caps on the floor, bathroom shower and tub was dirty with film of something on it. The walls were dirty and it needs to be painted. Again we only stayed for a night.
