One exciting thing about our wedding date is that it also happens to be the day before the Chicago Marathon! This is exciting for those that want to watch the athletes on Sunday (it is fun, we watched Charlie last year!), but it also means that thousands of people are going to be descending on our fair city, booking up hotel rooms so that they can wake up refreshed and ready to run a crazy 26.2 miles!
Luckily, we are getting married in Suburbia, and the majority of the racers will be staying in the city proper, so things won't be too hectic, but it might not be a bad idea to book a room a little more in advance than you would normally. Tomorrow I am going to try to contact some hotels regarding blocks of rooms, but for now, I am just going to list a few nearby options, their distances from the ceremony and reception and their current* Expedia price tag (for a basic double room):
Hotels (by distance from reception):
Sheraton Chicago - Northbrook. 5.8 mi from St. Francis, 1.1 mi from Sunset Ridge. $109/night
Renaissance Chicago - North Shore. 7.1 mi from St. Francis, 1.4 mi from Sunset Ridge. $89/night
Red Roof Inn Chicago - Westbrook, IL. 11 mi from St. Francis, 4.1 mi from Sunset Ridge. $60/night
Hampton Inn & Suites - Chicago North Shore. 4.9 mi from St. Francis, 4.8 mi from Sunset Ridge. $179/night
Doubletree Skokie. 3.5 mi from St. Francis, 5.6 mi. from Sunset Ridge. $144/night.
Hilton Garden Inn - Evanston. 2.4 mi from St. Francis, 8.8 mi from Sunset Ridge. $199/night.
As you can see, there are a lot of options (there are more than that; feel free to look up "Hotels near 60093" on google) at a variety of price ranges; I am sure that everyone can find accommodations without too much of a problem! If anybody needs assistance, please let me know!
