Here's a partial list of Chicago Hotels. Most are in or near the downtown
area, which is about 6 or 7 miles north of the University of Chicago. On
a clear day, it takes about 30-40 minutes by public transp. to the
University (which is a pleasant #6 bus ride along the lake.) Be sure to
ask about their weekend packages.
Ramada Inn - Lake Shore * (*In Hyde Park, near Univ. of Chicago.
