Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North
It's a good hotel - but it can be very crowded. Expect long lines/waits for the elevator and breakfast. We were there end of March / beginning of April and the pool was so crowded we could not use it.

Hilton Chicago O'Hare Airport
I think you took advantage of people needing a place to stay when their flight was cancelled. The price was very inflated but we had very little choice about where we could stay.
