Next we went on to order our Entrees. It was a a tasting frenzy for any palette. Fish & Chips were done perfectly! This is NOT an easy feat. Not too light not too heavy, just right in potion and the fish was cooked to perfection! Lamb Chops & Mash Potato - tender chops and mash potato was done just right. Salmon with roasted potatoes and spinach my favorite! Balanced and light with seasoning just right without killing my entree! Every presentation was elegant and service was spot on!
I see a "comfort food" theme here...ladies?
And Trendy Atmosphere...
We will definitely be back for more Paulette!!
Next Paulette showed us the Ballroom Space. Space was bright, hip and trendy...NOT what we expected at ALL! This hotel is on prime location right off the expressway and I mean RIGHT off the expressway! Unassuming from the exterior but once you step into the lobby, the feel is very modern, clean and contemporary.
A pleasant surprise indeed!
The sleeping rooms were spacious, comfortable with all the comforts for a planner like desk top plug in locations to wireless services! And of course for the leisure guest they had plenty of elbow room. Not so common these days!
Do we need to show you more to say we gave this hidden gem "6" thumbs up?! ....Ok I do have to say more and it's a good one!
As planner we spend a lot of time in hotels traveling with our clients. And I don't know about you all but I am one of those that need water close by at all times. So usually I make sure I have a case of water brought in, so I have it in my room. Now sometimes due to time constraints, I don't get to bring in the water so that means...yes the dreaded crack the bottle of water that costs me anywhere from $3 - $10 per 12-16oz bottle of hotel water. For people like me who consume GALLONS of water per day...this could potentially cause a financial crisis close to the national debt. Yes I went there.
So I share my FAVORITE amenity of all and I would be screaming from a mountain if I could climb it in my 3rd trimester, of The Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro...
That's right ladies and gentleman....The water here is COMPLIMENTARY and you know what? They can replenish for FREE! That was very climactic and I hope you enjoyed my share as much as I did when I found this in the room!
So this concludes our fun and informative tour of our new found gem in the city The Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro located 733 West Madison Chicago Illinois 60661 . Paulette Eastman was a fabulous hostess and we are looking forward to hosting an event at The Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro very soon!
A Big ALLURE Thank You to Paulette Eastman, Catering Sales Manager at The Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro for a wonderful afternoon!
