downtown chicago?

[carolyn]

I am attending a meeting at the Renissance Hotel in downtown Chicago next month, driving in from MI. Parking at the hotel is $40 a night, so I am looking to drive somewhere near town, leave the car, and take the commuter train in. Any suggestions?

Where in Michigan are you from? How about ride on Amtrak to Chicago?

That would seem to be an easy solution, that way you don't have to pay for gas, and possibly parking. Good thought Greg.

If you have to drive from Michigan, check the South Shore Line at http://www.nictd.com, as they'll likely have the most convenient service for you.

Actually, my first thought had been to take the Amtrak- have done that before ( I only live about 15 minutes from the station in Holland) but I have to be back home by 5pm on Sunday, and the Amtrak does not get back till hours later! Yes, that would have been perfect...

Have you investigated the South Shore line? They may have an Indiana station where you can leave the car and ride into the loop area.
