hotels in chicago

[kara]

hey, looking into hotels for CFP weekend and want to know about some neighborhoods. - is dearborn park a fun neighborhood? what other areas should we explore? we stayed in the fairmont last year by millenium park and that was nice but hoping for something cheaper and in a more funky neighborhood/area if possible.

Is that south loop hotel near other kinds of stuff, like a walk able area with restaurants and stuff?

Area may be a little too funky for you, but a little cheaper than Fairmont, site of the Picnic after party (Saturday) and close to the Shrine (Thursday and Sunday parties). Plus, a lot of out of town CFP guests will be here.

Plus, contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of great sites and funky neighborhoods to see on the south side, including Hyde Park/Kenwood...you know, where the President lives.

Done - for some reason I thought it was close to the picnic but nothing else - if it's also close to the clubs, deal. Booking Thr room now! Thanks for your help, I'm just not that familiar with Chicago - and while millennium was nice it reminded me of our convention center area....nice enough but more for tourists.

Thanks again so much for all the organizing - so appreciated! We get in noon Friday and staying through Monday around dinner time!! Vacation!

It's actually a pretty nice newer hotel just a few blocks away (directly south) from where the South Loop currently ends.....JMJ
