Downtown Chicago is not only magnificent, but it's also extremely packed full of cars. Finding parking can be a real challenge.

Although it's hard to any closer to Chicago than this, at least for the price, some guests still felt that the hotel was too far from the downtown area. However, without much trouble, you can hop on a bus, grab a train, or drive to many popular attractions in about 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic.
The Chicago Lake Shore Hotel does provide its visitors with complimentary wireless Internet. Unfortunately, some past travelers mentioned that the signal didn't quite extend to the outermost rooms in hotel's complex. You may wish to bring a Wi-Fi hot spot for a guaranteed signal.
Many guests of the hotel found the rooms a little run down, the décor in need of an updating, and the heating and AC units in need of replacement. However, recent visitors have mentioned that renovations are underway. Hopefully, these refits will solve all of the issues.
