Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North
It wasn't worth the price we paid. Our flight was delayed and we got there a day late and was still charged for the unused night. The telephone in the room didn't work. Water leaked onto the floor when taking a shower. No parking was available.

Sentral Michigan Avenue
This is a very clean apartment with a beautiful view of the city. It was not even terribly expensive for what you get. There is plenty of room and it is not far from local events and attractions. I would definitely stay here again!
