where is the best reasonably priced hotel/b&b closest to UChicago?

<p>As a parent to visit where is the best hotel to stay near UChicago that is reasonably priced? we stayed at the ohare airport embassey suites -only way to get there at the time and that was way too far for traveling to the campus. close to campus and reasonably priced like for us < $200 a night?</p>

<p>International House rents dorm rooms for much less than that.</p>

<p>There are some b&bs in Hyde Park, I believe; never tried 'em. And one motel on the outskirts of it. But basically, that’s it for the area. When we go, mostly we try to get a decent deal downtown, in the South Loop area. You hop on the 6 bus and you are in Hyde Park in 15-20 minutes.</p>

<p>Ain’t none.</p>

<p>The motel is the Lakeshore Ramada. It’s not really that close – 1-1/2-2+ miles away from anything at the University.</p>

<p>I just noticed that the OP stayed in a hotel at O’Hare. That WAS a mistake! Some people will stay at the hotels at Midway Airport, which are cheaper than staying downtown. Midway is about five miles from the University, a 15-20-minute drive or 25-30-minute bus ride if it’s not during a high-traffic time. O’Hare is a loooong way away, much less convenient to use than Midway.</p>

<p>we have stayed at the I House twice for visit days. For move in I just booked the Ramada. Their website says rates of $129 but I saw mentioned here a UChicago rate. When I called and asked for that rate it turned out to be $92 (plus tax)</p>

<p>The Hilton Chicago offers free transportation to campus for UChicago parents, and rates are reasonable for the location:</p>
