Crown Plaza Hotel (Chicago, Madison: good hotel, restaurants, shops)

[Bette]

We may be coming for a business meeting - 6 days. This is the hotel. It's $139 per night which seems OK. I grew up in the North Shore area until I was 11 or so, then moved to South Florida. I am now married with almost grown kids and would love to show them where I grew up and Chicago.

Is this is a good hotel? Can we walk to everything?

We would be there from July 27 to August 2nd.

I would also have a lot of time during the day to sightsee and hang out with my kids (young adults) so any suggestions would be great.

The hotel is located near Madison and Halsted in the Greektown area a few blocks west of the Loop. Due to the location, it would not be my first choice. It will be convenient for walking into the Loop part of downtown. I personally have found most tourists prefer staying on North Michigan Avenue since there is a lot more to do, nice stores, shops, restaurants.

I can't speak for the interior of the Crown Plaza (I assume you are referring to the one on Madison and not the other location by O'Hare). Hope the reviews are helpful.
