<p>Can any one suggest a hotel or b&b near UChicago for the April 20-21 overnight? We'll be arriving at O'Hare on the 18th and immediately zipping over to Evanston for one night, then back to UChicago for 2 nights, all by mass transit. Any advice would be appreciated! We're a little nervous about getting lost in scary neighborhoods.
Thanks!</p>
<p>The Ramada near Hyde Park Blvd.(51st) and Lake Shore Drive is good. You can see it on Lake Shore Drive.</p>
<p>I checked the Ramada Inn Lakeshore online a couple days ago. I'm staying over next to Midway Airport and driving in.........don't know anything about mass transit from that area. I'm sure there are lots of rooms downtown and mass transit will get you to the University of Chicago. momoffive</p>
<p>For you non-Chicago natives, this site is awesome to help you figure out public transport:</p>

<p>If you are taking public transportation, you can probobly stay anywhere.</p>
<p>Staying near ohare is probobly too far but near midway means you just have to take the 55bus straight to campus and staying anywhere near the train means you just have to find your way onto the red or the metra</p>
