Room on the 22nd

We checked in at the Hilton Hotel in Downtown Chicago and will be staying for 2 days and 3 nights.

Our reservation was for a room with a king bed, but we got in so late that what was available was a room with a 2-queen-size bed on the 22nd floor.

And guess what? It has 2 bathrooms on opposite sides with bathtubs each.

Well, I guess we won't be sharing a bathroom for the entire duration of our stay at this hotel.

This building was built in 1927. I had to find that out the moment we entered the lobby and when we got in their elevator. It squeaked, and it smelled so old.

There's also an old USPS mailbox at the lobby. Its use is for aesthetic purposes only.

I don't know if most of these details are original, but most definitely they maintain the look of its interior details from the Roaring 20s era.

We also got a room with a view of the city. The opposite of that is the view of Lake Michigan, and getting a room facing it costs $27 more.

We're not planning to look at the lake from our window, though.
