Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago-Downtown

Just southwest of the Loop, this hotel isn't in the nicest of locations; however, it is close to Union Station, making it very convenient if you are conducting business in the suburbs as well as the city. The hotel offers a full range of amenities, such as two-line phones, coffeemakers, modem connections, a fitness room and a chic restaurant in the hotel. Rates are moderate, but not as inexpensive as you might think, considering it's a Holiday Inn in a so-so location.
