Doubletree Hotel Chicago O'Hare Airport-Rosemont

Recently for work I stayed at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago O'Hare Airport-Rosemont.  Thankfully my co-worker requested an accessible room for me so I was looking forward to staying and writing a quick review. 

Here's my quick-n-dirty.

1. The room was very spacious and I was able to roll around to pretty much anywhere I needed too.
2. The thermostat was in a small corner with a chair and armoire, blocking me.  Picture
3. The clothes hangers in the armoire were a little hard to reach.  Picture
4. There was a second "privacy look" on the door so I could check out who's at my door.  Picture
5. While sitting in my TiLite wheelchair, with only 26' tires, my legs did not fit under the desk.  Picture (Yes folks, they're real.)
6. The "accessible" shower head fell victim to limp syndrome as most I encounter do.  Picture

One thing I do want to spend a little more time on is #6.  I've lost count on how many showers have failed the all important gimp test.  The first room I was in at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago O'Hare Airport-Rosemont was different then the one pictured above.  The removable shower head was in fact non-removable.  It was positioned on a vertical bar and shockingly was not suffering from limp syndrome.  However, the water pressure was and thus it barely made it past the drain.  So the nice bench that was on the back wall went unused.  I spent the week showering on the floor.  I made a call down to the front-desk but after an hour I had to leave my room so I'm not sure if they ever showed up.
