I was supposed to be in Chicago for a Barry Manilow concert and had looked for a hotel within walking distance of The Chicago Theatre. I ended up booking a room at the Hard Rock on-line, a prepaid nonrefundable rate that was the best I found for the date I needed. Well, the week of the show, the Manilow concert... More

I understand that the hotel is creating this atmosphere of being at a concert or something, but seriously I could barely see in my room. I turned all the lights on. Other colleagues who stayed there told me the same thing. Good location with lots within walking distance. More

I went to visit a friend who was staying at this hotel on business. I knew they'd paid a corporate rate of under $100 a night but the first quote I got online was for $250 a night for a single king room and prices went up from there. I called to see if I could get a cheaper rate... More
