You didn't mention which specific hotels or stations but I didn't find the areas immediately surrounding CHI/CUS or LAX/LAUS to look or feel dangerous to me.I am disabled and will soon be travelling by wheel chair to hotels near stations in L. A. and Chicago. Is it safe for someone in a wheelchair to do so?
I have been very comfortable around LAX Union Station during the day, however, right across the street is an encampment of the homeless which swells as it becomes dark so I am not sure that I would be so comfortable as it gets later in the day.The Metro Plaza is a short 2+ blocks from Union Station. You can see the sign from the front door.
I use a cane, and feel comfortable doing so even rolling a bag. The last time I was in LA, due to a very late CS I did not arrive until 1 am. The walk did not bother me.
I have walk to the Crowne Plaza several times with bags. No security issues or even question of security. The entrance is on the north side. Not sure if your bags and you travel well, but easy enough to do.Hi it's the metro plaza near LAX and crowne plaza near CHI. Any info? Thanks
As amtrakpass mentioned, your Chicago hotel is in Greektown. It's a nice area. I've walked around there many times.Hi it's the metro plaza near LAX and crowne plaza near CHI. Any info? Thanks
Thank you all for very helpful comments. It's put my mind at ease. All I need now is for Amtrak to perform....... Cheers from the U.K..As amtrakpass mentioned, your Chicago hotel is in Greektown.

If you like Greek food, I recommend either Greek Islands or Rodity's. They're both located about one block south of your hotel, on Halsted.
I love Greek Islands! Never been to Rodity's, but maybe I'll try that restaurant someday.As amtrakpass mentioned, your Chicago hotel is in Greektown. It's a nice area. I've walked around there many times.Hi it's the metro plaza near LAX and crowne plaza near CHI. Any info? Thanks
