Not sure where to stay in Chicago?

Ambassador East Hotel

Neighborhood: Gold Coast
Rates: from $108
Bottom Line: The Ambassador East is a great value pick. The rooms could use a bit of an update but for the price it is hard to beat this Gold Coast Gem.

Inn At Lincoln Park

Neighborhood: Lincoln Park
Rates: from $100
Bottom Line: Older Hotel in the Trendy Lincoln Park Neighborhood.

Days Inn Lincoln Park North

Neighborhood: Lincoln Park
Rates: from $91
Bottom Line: If you want to stay in Lincoln Park, this is a pretty good hotel that you can usually get a great rate compared to something more centrally located.

Hyatt Regency Chicago

Neighborhood: loop
Rates: from $97
Bottom Line: If you are in town on business it is a good choice. Good location, but lacks the charm for that romantic getaway.

Club Quarters Loop

Neighborhood: Loop
Rates: from $74
Bottom Line: One of the best values in the Loop, the Club quarters, located near the historic Rookery Building is close to CTA Lines and 4 Blocks from the Art Institute. Clean comfortable updated cozy rooms, perfect for the business traveler.

Best Western River North Hotel

Neighborhood: River North
Rates: from $89
Bottom Line: A bit out of the way from the touristy spots, but a nice hotel with free parking at a budget price may be worth the slight inconvenience.

The Westin River North

Neighborhood: River North
Rates: from $129
Bottom Line: WIth great views from the Chicago River, we think the Westin is worth a look. Step outside and enjoy all the nightlife that River North offers. Good Value in a Central Location.

Chicago's Essex Inn

Neighborhood: South Loop
Rates: from $72
Bottom Line: Looking for a decent budget hotel that is also green, consider the Chicago’s Essex Inn. This loop pick is on Chicagos Cultural Mile.

Hilton Chicago Michigan Ave Cultural Mile

Neighborhood: South Loop
Rates: from $107
Bottom Line: Moderately priced older hotels, but with clean and comfortable rooms across from Grant Park. Lots of amenities as you would expect from a Hilton.

Congress Plaza Hotel

Neighborhood: South Loop
Rates: from $80
Bottom Line: Tired older hotel with a lot of history in a great location, in need of a serious update. If you just need a place to crash, this might be for you. On the upside, this one is the cheapest hotel in the downtown loop.

Best Western Grant Park

Neighborhood: South Loop
Rates: from $91
Bottom Line: Value hotel located in the South Loop with Park and Lake Views in many rooms. Museum Campus is walking distance - No Self Parking.
