The entire NMA/North River area is fine, although I prefer to stay in the area closest to Michigan Ave. 2nd choice for area would be the GP, Loop, MP area, but I would like to stay closer to the river. I looked at HOTWIRE and then took a guess at $70....reason being, I know we're going to have to pay parking, which can be quite costly on a daily basis. Want at least a 3.5* hotel.
