LONG SCENARIO: In late June, I made a reservation at Hotel Blake through Venere.com for a 2 queen bed premium room.The rate was $139.This was with the understanding in my family that the trip would be made by 3 adult women,and the little children.The weekend just before the Monday we were to arrive at Hotel Blake,a real problem arose.The travelers were changed to be my daughter, MY SON IN LAW, and me.He was extremely uncomfortable sleeping in the same room.I called the HotelBlake about midnight.The night assistant manager and I discussed what options there were;I emphasize he was helpful &understanding.He suggested a small suite[a door between my son-in-law and me] & gave me a reasonable venere.com rate.I was very happy.This was magic;I told him I was going to bring him roses - & I DID.I checked once more by phone before we left on the 4 hour drive to Chicago.The suite was a guarenteed-reservation,at that point.I had NO control over where the van went when we reached Chicago.My son-in-law would not take me to the hotel,when we first arrived,about 10AM.He insisted on a musuem 1st;2nd a Polish restaurant in the north of Chicago.It was past 8PM as we reached TheBlake.I fully realize that customers,such as I,are not the bread & butter clients of HotelBlake.In my 1st life,I was a Chief in the Navy.My 2nd career/ teaching/ administration led to earning a doctorate in education.My goal was bringing my family to the museums, etc.Anyone who interacted with my grandchildren, including The BlakeManagers, can tell you they are behaved&have manners.They followed me when I was registering,with backpacks,pillow,and favorite toy.I gestured to go to the couch near the window-then I "looked" at them and said "Sit." They did.My point in telling you this,is to impress on you that children [in my care] being in the hotel during the business week,do not,and did not disturb the regular clientel.We arrived in the midst of a LARGE group of men, traveling together,checking in & waited for t

Call the hotel to confirm reservation as well as type of room. I had ordered two beds (two senior women, not gay), but when we arrived the room had 1 king-sized bed. Hotel full, had to bring in a roll away bed. Hotel personnel very friendly and helpful, but said the organization that Venere uses to reserve rooms screws things up on a regular basis and one should always check with hotel before arriving.

The room was fantastic as the surroundings of the hotel. The breakfast was really poor compare to the level of the strucuture but for the price paid was sufficient.

We booked our room for 3 adults. We were told it would be a deluxe room when we made the reservation. The room we got was a standard sized room with two king beds. We expected a larger room. Also, we would have appreciated a mini-refrigerator in the room. The only place to get ice was on the top floor right off the elevator. There were no rooms on the top floor, and it was scary especially if a person went for ice alone.
