The TRUMP International Hotel & Tower, Chicago is not for broke asses. This place is expensive, very expensive. I have been to a few 5 star hotels but I still got a bit of sticker shock here at TRUMP. BUT the service is beyond any I have experienced anywhere – truly.

Solo in San Francisco
San Franciso fucking ROCKS!! So I decided to stay and checked into the most wonderful hotel. I can not recommend this place enough to you.
