Chicago, the third largest city in USA with its spectacular skyline, impressive culinary scene, varied attractions and diverse neighborhoods is a great destination to enjoy vacation. The Windy City is though not expensive as New York, but can still be a drain on your travel budget. Savings on your accommodations during your Chicago vacation is still possible with affordable hotels which can be mostly found in major areas and neighborhoods such as The Loop, Magnificent Mile, Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, Near South/South Loop, River North, Gold Coast, and West Loop/Near West Side.
