US Open Hotels & Transportation

[pjk]

Where is everyone staying for the Open in Chicago? I know that Caltech guys are staying here:

Where is everyone else at? There are 5 of us going, and we are looking to find a good place to stay. It doesn't have to be too close, but as close as possible. We are hoping to find something under $120/night. If you know where you are staying, please list the site here.

As far as transportation goes, what you are guys planning? Does anyone know if you can just "train" your way around town? I don't want to have to rent a car since they are so expensive... and hoping I can just walk and train. If anyone has any suggestions, comments, or ideas, please post.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm staying at the Residence Inn at O'Hare, which is a little less than 20 miles from center city, I hear. Since my family is driving, we'll have transportation...

I'm not sure if you can find anything under $120 a night at this point... Good luck.

Okay, I will be at this hotel as well:

I ended up paying a lot more than I wanted, but it should work out.

Sounds good... we will plan on meeting up sometime, Jason. Worse comes to worse, we will see eachother at the competition.

Also, how do you plan on getting from the airport to the hotel? Are you flying into midway or o'hare? Thanks
