Question
What stores are nearby?
Answer
The hotel is located kitty corner from Village Crossing Shopping Center in Skokie, IL. It has nearly every type of store you could need and is a large part of why we booked this venue. Here is the full list of stores: https://www.mallscenters.com/malls/illinois/village-crossing. There is also an onsite restaurant and gift shop within the hotel.
Question
Is there public transportation from the airport/near the hotel?
Answer
Yes, you can take the blue line train and a bus to the hotel directly from the airport. There is some public transportation around the hotel by bus. If you plan on taking the bus/train several times to go sight seeing, we recommend getting a Ventra weekend pass (which can be purchased in the train terminal at the airport). Note: CTA and Metra are not the same types of train, but both can be purchased through the Chicago Ventra app.
