I worked at that hotel in 1978/79 in the Henrici's Restaurant there as a 22-yr-old waiter. Nice memories there. I can still remember many names of the waitstaff there. Always a regular crowd from the airport, and sometimes a few from conventions too. Many came from town also. Winters were best because the blizzards would snow us in and the hotel would put the whole staff up for a few nights till the streets were plowed. Chicago was so corrupt that they had trouble plowing the streets promptly. The hotel itself was nice and clean, never saw any problem people there, almost genteel. Funny, but I can’t remember whether there were any restrictions on where the employees were permitted to park -- Paul H.
