Eon, I don't think you'd have to deal with the highway. But I think you might have a hefty walk or a short cab/shuttle ride each time you go to and from the con.

I need to talk to him, if 4 people are going, my guess is splitting a hotel room is out.

Maybe I'll stay with eonprez and split a car. ;onei;

Well the Doubletree® Hotel Chicago O'hare Airport Rosemont is 159 a night, for three nights that's 477 bucks, split two ways is 238.50. For three nights, that's not bad and be right on the Convention center.

DIRECTIONS & DISTANCE from Comfort Inn to Chicago Con.

1: Start out going East on E TOUHY AVE toward S DES PLAINES RIVER RD/S RIVER RD. 0.11 miles

2: Turn RIGHT onto S RIVER RD. 2.18 miles

Total Estimated Time: Total Distance: 2.29 miles
5 minutes

---At 55.95 a night I think I can brave it.---

But remember, you have to reserve through Hotels.com to get that rate.

So, Chris, what would you recommend? First, what are you doing about this? The closer hotels or the hotels.com thing?

As far as splitting a room, Ben-- that would rock! Unfortunately, I think my room is booked with people. Curses-- that would've been cool!

Let me know!

Shoot, I'd walk two miles. But I'm sure cab fare would be about $30-$50 a trip.

I think the hotel has shuttle service to the Convention center.

Sold.

I'll call Doubltree soon. If they're booked, I'll try other places connected to the con center. If that's all booked, I'll use Wizard's Travel Organization to book rooms (they reserve a bunch and basically charge the same rate).

I also would rather spend 150 total than 450 total for 3 nights. I don't see me spending much time in the room anyway. I expect some locals to take me out for some adult beverages.

i just booked a room at the Doubletree for Friday and Saturday night.

i got it for $114 per night (which isn't bad at all, considering it's ****ing connected to the convention center AND has FREE PARKING).

and the price won't be bad for me either, 'cuz it's gonna be a friggin' sausage party in that room. so far it's possibly six guys...hahaha.
