If I was going in your position, I'd probably stay north of the river. It could be quite a bit more expensive though, depending on the hotel. Also, "to stay in this area" is a bit vague. Do you have specific area, or hotel I guess, in mind? If you're just hitting museums, by all means pick a convenient place you like.

Also, what else you do you plan on doing? Nice restaurants, theater, shopping? What kind of a hotel do you want? That factors in a lot.

If you want to look up neighborhood information, I think that area is "South Loop". I'm not positive on that though...

Thanks for the reply. The problem is I really don't know anything about where things are or what to do about it. Here's what we want to do for sure...The Field Museum, Shedd's, the best pizza place and the best Hot Dog/Italian Beef place. I've taken notes on these from the rest of the thread but unfortunately I'm not sure what would be the best way to go about it. I don't have to stay in the museum district, I just noticed that there were, what looked like, decent hotels really close. If there is an area to stay in that would be better I'm all ears.
