Hotel 71 > Motel 6

Wow! We aren’t messing around here in Chicago! After 4 hours on a bus from Bloomington (primarily spent napping and watching Ocean’s Eleven) we are in Hotel 71.

And this hotel is both nice and situated right in the middle of downtown Chicago.

To give you a hint: the closest restaurant to the hotel is Morton’s Steakhouse.

Tonight is an off night. So, after a little prep for tomorrow (we visit MillerCoors and Jewel-Osco) it is off to dinner and time to explore the city a bit.

We can’t get too crazy. Our bus leaves 7:45 a.m. tomorrow morning. But, there will certainly be some fun had tonight in Chicago.
