Room itself was clean and comfortable. Good location, staff were friendly. However, after my first night, I had breakfast the next morning, scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and orange juice - a pretty standard breakfast for me at home too - and proceeded to throw up for 6-7 hours. I had a pounding headache and even water was coming right back up minutes later. I felt like Iโd faint just trying to walk down the hall to the ice machine. I rarely get sick, much less throw up, so this was extremely unusual for me. I had to cancel all of my plans for that day and most of the next day. With only a weekend in Chicago, it was very disappointing to miss nearly both full days of a trip I had planned for a year. I had purchased tickets for several museums and events that I was not able to attend because I could not stop throwing up. My final morning of the trip, I had a waffle, which was held in a heated tray but lukewarm. I barely ate it because I feared getting sick again, and I felt nauseous that whole morning. I worked in food service for five years and it makes me wonder if the food is being held for too long or at the incorrect temperature. Whatever it was, my experience was horrible.
Additionally, there was a labor demonstration outside the hotel for the length of my trip. I commend the housekeeping staff for fighting for their rights. Treat your employees like humans and they wonโt have to use the megaphone and bang drums at 5:00 AM.
