Hotel Recommendation for Laggards Going to National

I'm not sure if it's sold out yet, but the Hilton Garden Inn isn't too bad. It's new and relatively close if you can't get one of the hotels across the street.

Just checked. Listed as a couple miles out but even this hotel is booked solid! Thanks for the lead though! Looked like a nice place.

I just booked at the Hyatt right beside the convention center two weeks ago. It was not cheap, but they still had rooms at that time.

I stayed about a mile away from the CC in 2019 (can't remember the hotel, though) and while they didn't have a shuttle, the uber rides weren't terribly expensive. Lots of airport hotels with availability in looking at hotels.com.

Good luck!!

Look in Schaumberg, Illinois.

Sure...it is no where near walking distance but about 20 miles away but it is a straight shot down interstate 90 and the cost is likely a whole lot cheaper than Rosemont. You can park in the garage across from the convention center for likely 15 bucks or so and take the shuttle over at no cost.

I live across the border in Wisconsin and if I didn't live so close I would likely look at Schaumberg or Arlington Heights (near 90) if I was looking for a hotel. Schaumberg has all of the same amenities that Rosemont does but it just isnt walking distance to the convention center.

Try this:

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago Wood Dale - Elk Grove
1200 N. Mittel Blvd Wood Dale, Illinois 60191 USA

$140/night prepay. Just on the other side of the airport. It is twenty minutes to the convention center. Sign up for Hilton Honors, which is free, to get that rate.

It is just off of North Wood Dale Rd which runs right to E. Irving Park Rd (Rte 19). That road goes directly to North River Rd. just over a mile south of the convention center.

I would not park at the convention center or across the street. The Rosemont Subway station is about one-quarter of a mile up the road just past the Hyatt and Rte 190. I always park there and see a lot of other show attendees use it. Big difference in price and pretty hard to spend more than $7 parking.

Rosemont
5801 N. River Rd.
$7.00 for 0 to 14 hours
$9.00 for 14 to 18 hours
$13.00 for 18 to 24 hours
Each additional 24 hours (or fraction thereof) $13.00
Special multi-day discount rate available: $11/day for stays of 2 or more days, with an advance online reservation.

Here is where you can make parking reservations: https://www.transitchicago.com/parking/. This is for those who do not want to pay for long term parking at the airport and will leave their car there. It is not really for part of a day.

You

Completely agree on the parking. In 2021 at the peak of the hobby, the convention center parking lot was packed and a cluster, while being expensive. The subway station parking was cheap and efficient and plenty of spaces.
