Where is the best place to stay for a weekend series at Wrigley Field?|180079

Looking for somewhere between Wrigley and Navy Pier. Also, when I say _best_ I don_t necessarily mean the most expensive, or the one with the best reputation, but one that provides a decent value, a clean room, and a great location.

Try the Days Inn over on Diversey and Clark street. It_s walking distance from Wrigley Field (well, about six or seven blocks, but it_s a nice walk on a good day). The area has a lot of shops and bars and the hotel is always busy. In fact, a lot of touring rock bands stay there when they_re playing at bars in the Wrigleyville area. It_s pretty busy, as i said, so try to make those reservations now.

The Whitehall is a nice hotel located right next to the magnificent mile...price is good too.. The Drake is classy upscale much lower priced than the ritz carlton and the penininsula. But you can_t beat the Four Seasons Chicago, one of the nicest hotels in the world...its so choice.

I would stay downtown and take the red line to Wrigley Field. Taking the _el_ will cost you $1.75/person each way but it drops you off right next to Wrigley Field and you can easily get on the red line downtown. As for hotels I would look at the Hyatt on Wacker (near Michigan Ave and the river). It is usually rather cheap but still a nice hotel and within walking distance on Navy Pier, the redline, and shopping, and good food.
