Chicago Hotels for Traveling Dummies

Chicago skyline at night

It's been a while since 1) we put a clothespin on our collective nose and visited Seekyt.com and also since 2) we awarded a DotD for fake travel advice. No more: today, we address both deficiencies; and boy, did that make our head hurt! It hurts because Seekyt.com is home to some of the most outrageously spun content on the internet, and today's candidate post is a classic case of the genre. The dumbass responsible for this mess is Lokesh Saini, who posts at several pay-per-view sites under variations of the handle nonyss. This time, he's telling everyone that "The Hotels in Chicago Provide Utmost Comfort!!" [those are his/her/its exclamation points, not ours...]

To paraphrase the late Lloyd Bentsen, our staffers have been to Chicago; our staffers have stayed in hotels in Chicago; Chicago is a favorite city: Lokesh, you know jack about Chicago! Probably because you've never been on the same continent!

Here's some of the more interesting "spinnage" out of Lokesh's craptastic post:

...the biggest and the most renowned cultural and business hub of the American terrain... The place is not like any other place, it has a lot to offer, and every person who has been to the place can vouch for that... ...the one thing that you will find here in abundance are the classy and chic hotels in Chicago... They are so good and they come with the names of the reputed brands that will give you everything you ever need... ...if you can afford to spend a little more money than you should try the 5-star hotels that will give you all the comforts you need. These hotels live up to their name of being the best hotels and they provide all the amenities that will put them on your list at the first spot. ...they are better than most hotels of other countries and cities because their staff stands out...

While you're visiting the Windy City, Saini suggests that you visit the town's sole attraction, the Brookfield Zoo:

• The zoo is called as the Chicago Zoological Park and it is located in the modern suburbs of the city.
• If you are not interested in wildlife, you will have all the attention for the cute pandas and the dolphins. The happy creatures always spread happiness. There [sic] joy is seriously contagious.

We don't know if you noticed it, but we did: Saini has nothing but the most general rubbish to say about Chicago's hotels – he doesn't even name them! No Palmer House Hilton, no Fairmont Chicago, not even the Best Western River North: not a one! And it doesn't mean Lokesh is a perfect candidate for Dumbass of the Day, spun content OR travel category, we don't know what does!
