Transportation

Chicago is served by two major airports: O'Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport

Details on these airports, and ground transportation from these airports can be found at these links. The hotel is about 15 miles (24 km)  from each airport.

Within Chicago, transportation is usually by taxi cab or through the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus and rail systems. Transit Cards can be purchased and value can be added to Transit Cards at vending machines located at all CTA rail stations. Vending machines accept $1, $5, $10, and $20 USD bills, and all coins except pennies and half dollars. Credit cards cannot be used to purchase transit cards at the station.
