Intercontinental Chicago O’Hare: Beautiful Hotel, Lackluster Service
Quinn and I spent the rest of the week at the Intercontinental Chicago O’Hare, located at 5300 N. River Drive, Rosemont, IL. The hotel has several wonderful features, including an art gallery with a full-time curator and monthly art exhibitions. The artistic theme is carried through the entire hotel, including guest rooms and public spaces. The rooms themselves are spacious and open, and the bathrooms feature rainfall showers, although they lack bathtubs. Guests have access to a well-equipped fitness center with complimentary fruit and water, and wireless internet is also available throughout the hotel for a fee of $13/day.
The location of the hotel is extremely convenient, right by O’Hare, the Blue Line, a convention center and several other upscale hotels and restaurants, but the service left a lot to be desired. The concierge actually told Quinn that she needed a reservation to ride the shuttle to a restaurant just down the street, and the shuttle drivers made some rude remarks when they did pick us up. Apparently, they don’t think that we deserve the respect that other paying guests receive, simply because we are women in the adult industry.
Quinn, Crysta Heart and I dined at the hotel restaurant one night, and the waitress completely forgot Crysta’s main course, Quinn received the wrong side dish, and my pasta was extremely overcooked. On the positive side, there is a Capital Grille and a McCormick & Schmick’s located in the hotel parking lot, so guests do have other dining options.
