Hello Thanks very much for your help. The snowstorm really got me thinking, specially because i've never been in Ohio and Wisconsin. My flight leaves Chicago on Feb 5 at 1:30 PM. I was thinking (if i went to WI but im not so sure anymore) to leave at 5:00 or 6am in order to be at the airport on time, but the probability of something going wrong is not little. (opinions?:-) Booking a refundable room was a great idea and i probably will do that, but first i need to book my room in Chicago. I was searching again and i found: 4 stars - Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower (this hotel charges a $4.5 resort fee /day)...$88,00 / day FULL AMENITIES: Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower And 4 stars - Magnificent Mile North - River North.....$95.00 / day FULL AMENITIES: Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower If you guys could choose one, which one it would be?:-) Thanks Again Ruy
