![]() I'll be in Chicago in mid-April for a conference. I am having a HELL OF A TIME finding a hotel for 8 days that won't run me a total of like $1500+. This is probably because I am looking in the Downtown area. The conference is right in the middle of downtown (I think), so I'd reallllllly like to try to find a hotel that is within walking distance (2 miles at most-ish).
If I move 10-15 miles away, hotels are much more affordable. I know Chicago is pretty renown (In the US anyway) for its public transpo system. Just how user friendly is this? Especially for a nub that that never used public transpo in her life. I am not opposed to taking a bus/subway to the venue every day if it's not going to be ridiculous to figure out. Also, any recommendations for sightseeing / good eateries? Conference is 5 days, but I'll be staying an additional 2 to roam the town.

![]() Doesn't matter, odds are you'll be shot and killed long before 8 days. I'd recommend hiring someone to go in your place.

Be sure to adjust the price. Hotwire always sells their rooms slightly cheaper than on the actual hotel site. | ||

![]() if u get a hotel outside of the down town area, look north. do not go to far south or west.
all museums are free on Tuesdays public trans trains are better than buses food = Fogo de Chao or Als Beef or Giordanos or Lou Malnatis or Lawrys and everything down town is within walking distance of itself have fun!
