A good choice

Great location for my trip -- half way between the Art Institute and the museum complex of the Field Natural History Museum and Shedd Aquarium. All within easy/enjoyable walking distance. As if your buget watching, like I was, its also with easy walking distance to the Blue El line for the (really rather low cost) trip to and from OHare airport! I’ld have no problem booking here again on a future trip to the City.
