Saturday. London to Chicago

A day of travel. Uber to London airport, uneventful flight to Frankfurt, left Noel in Frankfurt airport, uneventful flight to Chicago, uber to hotel.

I have only  stayed in apartments on my previous trips to US, never hotels, so I donot know what is standard. This hotel, the cheapest I could find within walking distance of major sights is odd. Huge, old, sort of done up. Really old airconditioner that made the room too noisy and too cold, so with some difficulty, I turned it off.  I could not change the temperature, the dial was rusted and impossible to read. There are no tea making facilities, but I can make myself a pot of filtered coffee, if I am prepared to put up with a powdered milk ( and I think sugar) concoction. I am not.
The bathroom is partly new, but not the shower control which only seems to have 3 settings- hot, medium and cold. The bed was comfy though.
