Chicago is a huge city, with plenty to see and do. From the Magnificent Mile to Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago, there’s no shortage of attractions. Hotels in the city can be expensive, but there are a few ways to save money.

One way to save money on hotels is to choose a budget option. There are a number of hotels in the Chicago area that offer rooms for under $100 per night. These hotels may not be in the best location or have the best amenities, but they’re a great way to save money.

Another way to save money on hotels is to look for deals online. A number of websites offer discounts on hotel rooms in Chicago. Hotels.com, for example, offers discounts of up to 50% on some hotels in the city.

If you don’t mind staying a bit outside of the city centre, there are also a number of hotels in the suburbs that are cheaper than hotels downtown. The O’Hare International Airport, for example, has a number of hotels within walking distance that offer rooms for less than $100 per night.

Finally, if you’re travelling during the off-season, you can find some great deals on hotels. The rates in January, for example, are often much lower than they are in the summer.
