chicago lodging tips

It will be a busy holiday weekend here in chicago (sorry!) so out-of-towners may want to book rooms soon. Our futons and floor space are spoken for (although we might be able to cram in one or two more hearty souls), but here are some options for lodging:

Hotwire: Hotwire doesn't tell you exactly which hotel you're getting, only its star rating and the price. But anything you could find for a good price in downtown chicago would be a good bet.

Expedia or Orbitz: These are two other good sites to try to find a hotel deal.

Ray's Bucktown B&B: We've never actually been in this place, but it's fairly close to our place (we're about two miles west of downtown) and looks fun for those who can spend $139-149 or so.

Chicago B&B's: Use this site if you'd like to search across area Bed & Breakfasts.

Chicago Trip Advisor: If you want to take a look at reviews of hotels you're considering or get some recommendations, check out this site.


Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any questions about where to stay or if you need help booking a place.
