First of all thank you AaronJB for your answer. 1. This listing hasn't been ID'd/reported to the board, but my guess is that the Holiday Inn ORD may have been upgraded to 3.5*. 2. Are you flying in or driving in? If you are driving in, I'd rather suggest the North suburbs. If you are flying into ORD you are really more limited to ORD or downtown. R: Im flying from New York 3. I definitely understand the prices downtown for these dates are on the high side, but I will say if you're going to be going downtown every day, having to take the "L" in each way for an hour from ORD is not fun in the slightest. If you are interested in downtown what would be your absolute max? If you are driving, I'd much rather suggest the North burbs and I'd be happy to outline options there. R: You have reason about so far the ORD Airport is (about one hour) especially 3 nights, but de prices downtown are so high (maybe Cubs in playoff or fall season), my budget is US D150 per day. I have looked ORD specifically the Rosemont zone near the Outlet, for my wife. Thank you for you cooperation.
