I am hoping my friends on Soxtalk can help me out. I am hoping to fly into Chicago (probably on United) on Friday, August 7th and out Sundcay. Plan on seeing the Sox game Friday and Saturday. I need to know if there is a good hotel recommended close to Comiskey Park with shuttle service and anything else you can advise me on in the area or about the area. I see a taxi from O'Hare to that area is about $35 or so. I don't know if any have a shuttle offered from the airport. My wife wants to buy a dog in Chicago and fly us all back as a lovey dovey family and the game is my reward.

I checked all the shuttle services in Chicago and none of them offer anything on Sundcay.

 

By the way we are doing the softball game that Saturday. You should join us.

On a serious note I've heard this place is decent.

You should get a hotel downtown. You can take the Blue line in from O'hare if your on a tight budget. Than take the red line to the games.

 

 

You can get a dog at the Anti-cruelty society. The Best Western River North is right there and within walking distance to the red line.

Thanks! I tried to get the misses to consider adopting from the animal society places here, but she ants this Great dane puppy.

I agree that staying downtown and using the trains, buses, and cabs to get around. You'll save a lot of money and reduce stress that way.

That does look nice. I have never used the train service there and have only stayed in Chitown once when I stopped in South Holland right off the Interstate and then drove to Comiskey many years ago. I don't want to rent a car so that might be a good alternative

If your looking for something different, you could camp in my back yard and than walk to the games.

 

I have snakes in the yard though. They may be cobras.

Cobras can't harm el...he lives in Montana. They have killer moose up there!

if you're downtown you're within 3-4 blocks of the red line pretty much anywhere. North Michigan avenue and you might be 5-6 blocks. Red line lets you out a block from the park. For hotels, I'd recommend hotwire. Cheapest deals out there, outside of priceline, which are generally only $5-10/night cheaper, if that. Same hotels usually though. Hotwire doesn't tell you the hotel but look at this website. Better Bidding

 

It tells you which hotels hotwire uses, based on the amenities it shows. So you'll know where you're staying. No point to stay anywhere but downtown unless it's too expensive, but the cost of a car is going to make up the difference anyways.

As most have said the best plan would be to stay at a hotel that is near a red line stop.

I've stayed here before, walked quarter of a block to the El. Real easy.

This is true!

Them snakes are right tasty critters

The Sheraton on the river or the Westin on the river both are pet friendly. They have a lot of restaurants & it is a safe area to stay. You can walk around river area on both. The sheraton is closer to the lake front & navy pier is close. As far as transporation to the ballpark, everybody is correct. Have fun!!
