up to $75 a day in food, hotel is fully covered. I'd like to not eat out, so kitchenette is important. -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:01 3
- I think I'd just stay downtown. The costs are covered, the supermarkets downtown are probably nicer and you'll get a more Chicago experience -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 08:08 2
  - ok. and I like the idea of a shorter commute... 40 min - 1 hour is a lot of time if I don't have to. -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:10 1
    - Especially stuck in a car not moving much. I hate driving downtown and take the CTA/Metra whenever I'm home. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 08:12
yeah, just get a residence hotel. almost all of them allow dogs. also, if you know you're there for two months, negotiate a better rate. - fabulous squad Jul 20, 08:00 7
- the hotel downtown is a residence hotel with separate bedroom, kitchenette, dog friendly..initially why I picked that location. Plus quick commute. -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:02 6
  - where exactly will you be working? - groiny Jul 20, 08:04 2
    - near the Morgan Lake station, Fulton Market. Hotel looking at is on West Kinzie/N Dearborn -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:06 1
      - yeah, you might be better off staying down there if work is covering the hotel then. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:10
  - if the hotel is fully covered, wouldn't parking there be covered as well? -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 20, 08:03 2
    - the hotel downtown has absurd $50/day parking.. not a lot of space. the office next door has negotiated rates.. about $150/month. - colin Jul 20, 08:04 1
      - are you still London based? how is the rental in Houston going? -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 20, 08:25
