As soon as possible! The number of rooms available at our discounted rates are limited, and hotels become busy this time of year. Check out our Accomodations page for rates and links to make your reservation today.
We recommend you download and consider using BOTH Uber and Lyft (phone apps) as their rates and availability are competitive. We have also had success using the public train system from the airport to downtown and around the city. Don't be scared--just download the Chicago Transit app or find a map and go for it!
We suggest using the app or website Park Whiz to find parking nearby, quickly, and for relatively cheap. You're welcome to park at your hotel and pay their fee as well. Finally, you may consider parking your car somewhere just outside of downtown where you find a good deal and rely on public transportation etc. to get around inside the city. Of course do your own research and let us know if you find anything better!
