    I just booked at the Hyatt Regency @ $169 per night. I guess that isn't too bad for downtown Chicago on a weekend.

    Same here....booked for 4 people at $219 a night which may seem steep, but is actually really good for a a 4 star hotel in downtown Chi Town on a weekend as you said. $52 a night for parking does suck though......

    I will save a little money because I am flying in from Houston, and I'll just take the train and walk to the hotel. I won't have to park a car.

    It seems like quite a few people are staying here, there definitely needs to be a hotel bar meetup at some point.

    Yeah when I booked the reservation today, the receptionist laughed when I answered why I was coming to Chicago for that weekend and said a ton of people have already booked for the same reason there. Bar looks really cool there so I'm sure we'll have a great group. 6 miles from Wrigley and I'm sure the train is right around the corner that takes you there.

    With the cost of gas, driving from PA, and the $104 parking I'm starting to look for flights. Although, there are garages in the area that seem to have somewhat cheaper rates.

    i may need to start a parking service on my lawn.

    if you are coming from the west, park in my yard, pay 25 for the stay and get a ride to the train station.

    I probably shouldn't have been so harsh, but like I said get a refundable room booked now, and wait you will be able to find something much better probably for less $$$....Also all of the "boutique" hotels are on the "upscale discount sites" like jetsetter, sniqueaway and others.

    :lol:

    I hear you. To be honest I need nothing more than a decent room with a clean bed within walking distance to the venue and didn't see anything better than the $127.80 AAA rate I reserved at the Days Inn in the same vicinity. I also don't want to stay downtown and cab/subway over to the venue and prefer not to drive over either. For my specific situation I think I'll absorb the reality of not staying at the Hyatt again like I did in '09.

    They do, and the hotel told me there are some parking garages near by that charge $20 a day, but they are not 24 hour overnight parking....so it's a lost cause.

    Thanks for the tip. I went 105 and scored it. I stayed there last month and was pretty happy with the room and location.
