Best Hotels / places to stay

Looking for a suite weekend Nov 21-23

RestoreTheRoar28 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:57:13 GMT

We are coming out for the Bears vs Eagles game Nov 21-23. We have 6 people so we are looking for a suite near Michigan Ave. What are the best/most affordable to stay at?

Right now I have a 2 bedroom suite booked at the Residence Inn on East Walton. I got the room at $247/night which I think is pretty good. Any other places to look at?

Great Hotel Deal--Amalfi Hotel

I found a great little hotel downtown that offers 25% off for anyone that provides their bears tickets at check in. And they throw in free drinks nightly for an hour and a half which I can't complain about. Hotel is called Amalfi Hotel and the website is www.amalfihotelchicago.com

Child wants autograph (Hotel location?)

Wondering if anyone know's where the visiting teams stay, so I can try to get a Polumalu jersey autographed. It would mean a lot to my freind's son. I don't know, maybe it's not possible, but I'll make the 3 hour drive and at least make an attempt if I can figure out where they'll be. Maybe try to pick up a ticket from a scalper at the stadium while I'm there. GO BEARS!!!

Isn't she awesome???

Yesterday my wife came to me with a piece of paper that she printed at her office, she just handled it to me and guess what was it?? she got 2 tickets for the GB vs Chicago game in December 13!!!

This is going to be our first game and actually it's going to be our first time in Chicago !!! we live in Juarez, Mexico which is border with El Paso, TX. so we will take the flight from ELP...
Now I need some help to find out a hotel nearby the Soldier field, we are going to rent a car but I don't want to drive 2+ hrs to get to the stadium, or what do you recommend us?

by the way did I mention that she is the best wife in the world??? I lover her!!! she loves football, Nascar, MotoGP, Rock/Heavy metal, AND she hates soccer!! what else can I ask?

Gooo Bears!!

Essex and Sheraton Hotel and Towers

qdawgg — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:01:14 GMT

How's it going - I'm new to the boards, live in upstate NY and just bought my 1st bears tickets to the monday night game 12/28 vs. Minnesota. The question I have is I originally booked the Essex Inn for a couple of nights b/c it's less than a mile from soldier field and I figured it would be easy to get back to the hotel after the monday night game,especially not knowing the area and it will be cold. Now I see that I can actually book the Sheraton Hotel and Towers for less money and it seems to be a nicer hotel plus it's closer to more places to eat/shop when were not at the game. The only thing I can't tell is whether it will be easy to get back and forth from the game, more concerned about after the game. Does anyone have any experience with this hotel (or the Essex) or live in chicago and could tell me whether there are fairly retard proof bus/metro lines that run from the Sheraton fairly close to Soldier Field and back. Sorry for the lengthy post and I appreciate any information that people can provide.

Staying 5 nights in Chicago... Bears, Cubs, White Sox

igor0190 — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:50:38 GMT

We are coming down in an RV in September to see the Bears, Cubs, White Sox. What motels/hotels would you guys recommend for around $100/night. We just need somewhere to sleep and shower that is in a safe neighbourhood and preferebly somewhat close to the stadiums. Would something around the airport be our best bet? Any suggestions where a good place to stay would be???

Hello, I will be coming to Chicago for the week 2 game against the Steelers in September. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions regarding the best affordable hotels in the loop. I am on a tight budget but do not want to totally sacrifice quality. Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide.
