Lodging
Chicago is a very expensive location and the hotels rate can be extremely high. Thus far, we are unable to negotiate a constant rate with the local hotels. We suggest you check the Internet at www.Hotelsonline.com, www.hotels.com, www.Travelocity.com, and/or www.Orbitz.com; each provides comparative hotel prices for the Chicago area. The best rates will probably be found just outside the city limits. Suggested areas are Skokie, Lincolnwood, Niles, Rosemont/O’Hare area, or Evanston. Choosing a hotel close to the I-90/94 expressway or Lake Shore Drive (Rt. 41) will provide faster travel times. Listed below are just a few of the hotels.
