shedd aquarium: Would like to stay in a decent, and safe area NEAR Chicago, in the Burbs. Do not desire to stay downtown. Any suggestions for a clean and reasonable hotel we can check in to?|||Wow, there are los of great hotels which you can find in suburbs in this city. I think most of them are really affordable. If you鈥檇 like to stay at Northwest Suburbs, I鈥檒l recommend Motel 6. Well, if you just think this hotel is way too cheap, you can consider Jameson Suites. Oh, if you鈥檙e gonna fly to O鈥橦are Airport in Chicago, maybe hotels close to the airport are nice options. Both Holiday Inn and Best Western are inexpensive hotels. You know, motel 6 hotels are always inexpensive. Their room rates might start from 60 dollars. Other hotels that I mentioned above are also budget friendly hotels with price around 100 dollars. As you鈥檙e gonna visit Shedd Aquarium, I just think that hotels in Western Suburbs might be greater choices. Well, these hotels are closer to downtown Chicago, so you鈥檒l not need to drive a long way or spend much time to get to the Aquarium. Affordable hotels in this area include a Super 8 hotel and a best western hotel. Well, to get the latest info about room rates of these hotels, you鈥檒l need to visit their official websites.
