Hotel Recommendation for Laggards Going to National

[jethrod3]

I admit it. This year I snoozed, and so I lose...as in lose out on getting a hotel close to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center for the National Sports Collectors Convention.

I'm not very familiar with Rosemont (and I'm not asking anyone to do my homework for me). However, if anyone knows the area and has attended the National in Chicago before but stayed 1 or 2 miles away from the Convention Center, and can offer a recommendation (off the top of their head) of a clean hotel, preferably one that runs a shuttle to the Convention Center and has a room safe, that would be much appreciated!

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.

Thanks brass_rat - that was my thought as well. I would probably opt for ride sharing as well at this point. I think it shaves off 40+ minutes roundtrip.
