I stumbled upon Asrai Garden when I attended an event at the Ace Hotel. At first I thought it was a…read morenew floral shop in town, but after talking to the staff I learned this was Asrai's newest location. I used to visit the one in Wicker Park so I was thrilled to see they have a location also in the West Loop which is easier for me to get to. This new location is a huge improvement aesthetically compared to the one in Wicker Park. This location is definitely more spacious and seems to offer a wider variety of things from eclectic jewelry to incense. The floral part though may be the bread and butter of this place. I love how they have the flowers on display, making it accessible and easy to choose your own arrangement.

This was the first time I've ever even owned a plant, and it's definitely still a work in progress, but nonetheless great job Paul and thank you so much! I included the before and after.

However it was exceptionally difficult to get them to actually come out and do the work. I started a couple months in advance (April) requesting an appointment and had to follow-up several times in order for them to actually show up. Last year I finally gave up on them after many appointment requests & no-shows and ended up doing the work myself. They do good work when they show up, but I wouldn't count on them if you need work done by a certain date.

The rest of the staff however seemed to be annoyed anytime anything was asked of them, from the front desk to bartenders The woman at the front desk and she was rude and dismissive. I got there early so I knew the room wouldn't be ready but asked just in case. She said no rooms were available without checking. Ok, asked if I could leave my bags and she looked like she didn't want to deal with it. Came back again hours later and she still had the same attitude. During afternoon & evening hours you need to order food from the bartenders and they're also not very happy to take the time to do this. Both times different people were annoyed and even forgot to add something to my order. It got to the point where I purposely minimized any interactions with staff. I now see other reviews have similar experiences so not sure if it's this specific location or why the staff was so upset being at work.

Checking in was super easy and Anisa was very helpful with answering my questions and letting me know what the hotel offers. The room itself was beautiful. I felt like a VIP when I saw the words "Welcome Kaitlyn" on the TV. The pictures advertised upon booking are very accurate. The hotel is very close to train stations and numerous bus routes making it easy to get around, even without a car. I personally chose this hotel because it was part of the Amex Hotel Collection. I highly recommend this hotel whether you are an Amex cardholder or not. I would definitely stay here again.

For some people, that's all they need though so it's not a bad thing to have. There's lots of room for dogs to run around, and humans to chill and relax. Bare bones park is a description of it, almost. It actually does have some things in it. There's a few benches and paths. Green space is the main thing about it. Lots of it and quite a few trees. As far as playgrounds, there aren't any. The most interesting thing about it is a statue. It's called "Grainne." This was a gift by Galway, a city in Ireland. Chicago has lots of Irish heritage. This is a statue that certainly makes sense. Good park to hang out for a bit. It's nothing really that interesting but it's good to get out. There's a few benches for sitting and a few paths for walking.

I've driven by this park countless times; I used to pass it nearly daily when I had my old job. I'm…read morehonestly not sure I ever noticed it, though, before I stopped at Old St. Pat's this week. It's known as a "passive park", because it has no programming, playground, or any facilities besides some benches. The most notable feature of the park is a large sculpture at the southwest entrance called Grainne, which commemorates the Sister Cities relationship between Chicago and Galway, Ireland. The name is somewhat odd, and was developed by the park's advisory group. It's said to reflect the peoples of various heritage that have called the area home, as it was a gathering place for lots of new immigrants in Chicago. "Green" is in homage to the old-timey town greens that were the original parks. I wandered through simply because I was surprised it was here, but it wasn't much of a park. I liked the sculpture quite a lot. If one lived nearby this would be an ok place to stop if you wanted a minimal amount of green space, but otherwise there are better parks in the city.
