We're staying at the Comfort Inn downtown and I think it only ended up being around $100 a night (maybe even a bit less). I booked flight and hotel together, so not sure on the exact rate but it's a 3 star. I don't plan on hanging in the room all that much.
Depends on if you plan to spend a few days there. Downtown is a good place to be. We'll only be a few miles from Mag. Mile.

Hows the Crowne Plaza- on Maddison just a bit over a mile- I booked it cause they have balconies and its so close- can maybe barhop walk to venue? Streetview on google looks kind of industrial? parking was alot cheaper than downtown hotels has nice bar on site
got the Hyatt Regency through priceline.com for an offer of $60....not bad for a 4 star...
How do you make sure you get the hyatt on priceline. You don't know what hotel you are getting until after you bid....and then the hotel could be too far away. any help? HOw would I go about doing this?

Good choice...closer to show, but if I had a choice, I would stay more in the downtown...Crowne doesn't offer much as far as walking around during non show hours.
Thanks for the Priceline suggestion. I just booked the Hyatt Regency also for $60 dollars a night for Sunday and Monday.

I googled parking for Hyatt and found something called Millennium Garage. Haven't had a chance to map it out but it sounds close to the Hyatt for half the bones. $23 for 24 hours
I've been holding off booking at the hyatt b/c of how much parking costs. I know parking is crazy expensive everywhere in downtown but $48 per night seems a little too steep. Gotta checked with everyone I am going with before booking anything. Granted there is 4 of us going so it would only be $12/person per night.
I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to stay at The Congress and I highly recommend you don't stay here unless you absolutely have to. What I would recommend is looking for hotels around O'Hare - they are much cheaper than downtown hotels and you can take the blue line all the way into the city. Check for hotels in Rosemont - they're all very nice and affordable.
