Jenga Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 My apologies if this has already been addressed (didn't see it anywhere), but I can find nothing -- zip, zero, nada -- in Chicago other than the airports for 9/11-9/13. Hotwire has nothing, Expedia has nothing. I see there's a big printing convention going on, but would that take *all* the hotel rooms in the city? We really only want 9/12-9/13, but I also tried with 9/11-9/13 to see if this was just an exclusion for one-night stays. Both returned same big goose egg results.I've never seen anything like this. Anyone know what's up? Thanks! Link to comment
Romelle Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I got curious and looked at the Priceline retail side. Same results. ???Then looked at some Chicago events calendars on-line and couldn't spot anything that looked that major. ????RomelleMaybe you could make one of the airport hotels work - free shuttle back to airport and train downtown? Clumsy, but beats some other options. Link to comment

AaronJB Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 u2 is playing a big part.Given that there's no/next to no inventory, what are your plans/thoughts? Link to comment
Jenga Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 thereuare, the convention that caught my eye is "Print 09" at McCormick Place w/75,000 attendees. No idea if this is large for Chicago or not. OK, I was hoping there was just something easy or obvious here that I was missing. I'll keep checking for this week for rooms downtown; if the airports are the only option we'll probably just drive down and back on Saturday. I'll close this one way or the other by Friday, of course using Better Bidding's HOTWIRE link if we end up finding something. Thanks, as always, for the help! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 That's certainly a hefty convention for Chicago. There might be something in the Evanston/Skokie area, which is just to the North of the city. Link to comment
Jenga Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Just to close this thread, we decided not to stay over and just made it a very long day trip. Thanks, as always, for the help and advice! Link to comment
