    I recently stayed at the The Rose Hotel Chicago O'Hare while attending a business meeting, and I…read morewas genuinely impressed from start to finish. Dining: We dined at Thorn Restaurant & Lounge, located in the hotel lobby, and everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was impeccable, and the cocktail menu did not disappoint. I highly recommend the Not So Old Fashioned -- definitely order it smoked! During our business meeting, we ordered breakfast, and I was blown away by the portion sizes. That breakfast burrito with the oven-roasted potatoes could honestly keep you full all day! Accommodations: The rooms are stunning. The décor throughout the property is modern, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. My bed was incredibly comfortable, and the large shower provided the perfect way to unwind after a long day. I also appreciated the charming old-school Frigidaire in the room -- such a fun touch! Service: From the front desk staff to the restaurant team, everyone was warm, friendly, and accommodating. The hotel even checked in with me via text throughout my stay, and when I requested extra pillows, they arrived promptly. This was my first time staying at this property, but it definitely won't be my last. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! #YelpEliteSquad

    I had a terrific one-night stay due to my flight cancellation. The hotel is very well-maintained…read moreand clean. It's very close to the airport. The room service was excellent. They have a pretty good menu. I enjoyed the Faroe Island Salmon, those amazing house-battered wings, and the raspberry cheesecake. I'd definitely stay here again. This was the only hotel that was not booked and where I was able to obtain an immediate reservation overnight.

    Donald E. Stephens Convention Center…read more Nice. Very large. Some area is clean. Nice venue. I like how the parking across the street has a skywalk and it's fully covered and heated/cooled. Nice. Came here for collect-a-con which is very huge. Park on level 1c and use skywalk. Highly recommended

    This year at Fan Expo, it was a lot more disorganized than past years. I've been going to the…read moreconvention since when they were Wizard World, over 14 years. This was the first time, the photo op section took longer than 1 min to print out the physical copy of pictures. The physical copy used to be so fast that they would be ready by the time you turn the corner. It took about 40-45 mins to receive my physical copy this past Saturday. The parking garage was atrocious. It took 50 mins to leave the garage. I had to park on level 5 and that was about 1.5 hrs after they opened the doors to the con. Usually, leaving the garage would be no issue at all. For some reason, it took about 40 mins just to go down one level. I understand that they were understaffed but the customer service should still remain good. Almost all of the celeb autograph tables accept cash for autographs, table selfies, and combos. For some stupid reason, they decided to make Sam Witwer's table prepaid and orange ticket only. I know it sounds dumb, considering the bigger names were cash only. I prefer giving the celeb exact cash amount instead of paying extra taxes to Chicago and Leap Epic online. Anyways, the guy in charge decided to be a grinch and not let me and another girl into the line. We both paid extra money for the all weekend pass. Overall 2 out of 5. 2 stars only for the celebs, vendors, and handing out with other fans. Minus 3 for the incompetent staff.

    A short fuse and a close call…read more After Emily and I checked in to our hotel room, we wanted to stretch our legs and see if there was anything nearby for some beer and some food. Turns out, Short Fuse was right up the road and a 5 minute walk got us there. For a Sunday, it wasn't too busy but not dead, so we got seated right away. We ordered some beer and took a look at the menu. While nothing really struck our fancy, our waitress made a comment that if we did want any food, it might be slim pickings as they were running out of stuff. Turns out, this day was the last day they were open. Talk about timing! After she mentioned that, I started to notice that people were buying bar signs and various other things. Emily started off with a Guava Gose and I grabbed a Krankshaft kolsch. We sampled each other beers and we both really liked what the other ordered. I don't really know what a gose is but, damn, was that good! I've had Krankshaft before so I knew what I was getting myself in to. We ended up ordering a second round of the same beers and let each other sample the other's beer a little more liberally this time. While we were kind of hungry, nothing on the menu really struck our fancy, especially considering they might've been out of it. Room service took care of those hunger pangs later after a few more beers in the hotel bar. Online reviews for this place seemed hit and miss but I really enjoyed my time there and really enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the vibe of the place. We did contemplate buying some bar signs on our way out but declined as we don't know what we would exactly do with them. It sucks to see a small business close but they did say they may try to open up a new place in a new location in the future.

    I sat at the bar and it took almost 20 minutes to get served. There were only two ladies working…read morethe front so I was patient. I ended up getting a flight of 7 and my favorite was the Bear-ie White. Plenty of parking. There was food available but I did not order. Big space which was nice.
