Travel tips

If you plan to rely on public transit, note that the nearest “L” station is about a mile away, so budget time for a walk or a short ride. For early starts, be aware that some guests have mentioned breakfast timing and service speed at the restaurant; consider building in extra time. Complimentary parking is a useful perk if you’re driving in Chicago.
