    ^^This.

    We stayed here in 2012 for our friends wedding and in 2013 for the first Wrigley show. Great hotel, great location. I have a room booked here for August but our friend also booked The All Star suites right next to Wrigley, we will probably let our room at the Talbott go.

    Ive stayed at the Ohio House twice when ive gone to Chicago for shows, its cheap and basic and a cab ride to Wrigley for sure definitely couldn't walk...I learned a lesson the last time after the Wrigley delay that getting a cab back there at 2am was near impossible ha...what I liked about it was its within walking distance to pizza places, shops, and navy pier

    Also have stayed at the Congress both for Lollapalooza and Eddie Vedder solo

    inn at lincoln park. Across street from Days inn mentioned above. Got a good rate yesterday. Very walkable to Wrigley. Not fancy but just need a serviceable place to sleep.

    I almost stayed there in 2013 but then I read some reviews that changed my mind. Ended up staying at the Hyatt Magnificent Mile. Wasn't the easiest getting back to after the concert but worked out great for Saturday when we spent the day in the city.

    Staying in Downtown at the Warwick Allerton, found a great deal through triple A! Our experience with Wrigley to get to and from downtown through the redline was fairly easy. Always enjoy staying in downtown, lots to do in the area.

    I just got a place on airbnb for less than $100/night, within a mile and a half of the stadium. Then I cancelled my hotel that was 10 miles away for the same price.

    I have a room booked at the Days Inn near Wrigley. I am not longer attending the show in Chicago, just the Fenway shows. If you want a room, one King bed, PM me. I would like this to go to a PJ fan.

    Same here. I was able to get the Warwick Allerton for about $100 through Triple A! Nice to know that there are going to be some fellow members at the same hotel.

    I am staying downtown on the Loop, as I always do. I decided to save a little money and stay at the Congress Plaza Hotel. It is serviceable and not fancy, but gets the job done if you don't plan on hanging out in your room.

    Getting from Wrigley to downtown can indeed take a lot of time. If you are patient or if you are cool with waiting around for an hour or more after the show, you should be able to hop on the red line or get a cab.

    I am going to be getting a 3 day CTA pass and will be taking the red line back and forth, unless the opportunity presents itself and I am completely exhausted, at which point I will find a cab ($25+ cab ride normally from Wrigley to the Loop.)

    My advice is to just stay someplace nice downtown near a red line stop. Expedia's hotel map, for example, shows all the CTA stops for your convenience. From the downtown area, you just take the red line north to Addison.

    We're staying at the Congress too. Had good luck there in the past. I like the location.

    How were you able to get the Warwick at that rate? Which nights are you staying? Thanks
