We stayed at the Holiday Inn Chicago - Plaza Mart February 18 - 20. This hotel is in the perfect location and it has amazing views. Per other trip advisor posts I requested a higher floor and a room with a view. For $109.00 per night (including parking) we had a room overlooking downtown Chicago from where the canals all meet. It wasn't a lake view but it was still amazing!
The hotel starts on the 15th floor of the Chicago Sun Times building. It is connected to the Merchandise Mart by a skywalk. The merchandise mart has fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts and just window shopping was fun. You catch the brown line train right from the Merchandise Mart. Our room was clean, beds comfortable. Don't ask the doorman about anything it seems as though they are just looking to make a kick back or something. Traveling by train is very easy (purchase a transit pass... good for bus and train). FYI if you plan to go to Sheds... grrr..... make sure you have purchased tickets and have them in hand or plan on standing in line FOREVER!!! Even will call has a long line!
