Chicago Area Hotels



When trying to make travel arrangements on your own, a good website for online hotel reservations is  http://www.expedia.com/ under ``Hotels''. We tried to call some hotels in the Chicago area, and it looks like the rates by a phone reservation are about 70% higher than the online rates. Another website for hotels is http://www.hotwire.com/
