Map of
1239 N Greenview Ave
Chicago, IL 60622-3318
Location From Downtown
Located just 2.5 miles NW from the center of downtown Chicago (The Loop) and 2
miles W of North Michigan Avenue, we are
1.5 blocks from the Division/Milwaukee stop on the Blue Line Subway, the #9
Ashland and # 56 Milwaukee buses; 1/2 block north of the #70 Division Street bus
or 3 blocks south of the #72 North Avenue bus.
We are 3 blocks west of the Kennedy I90/I94 Expressway at exit 49A - Division
Street and then 1/2 block north (a right turn) on Greenview Avenue. Via car or cab we are just
10
minutes from the Loop or Michigan Avenue (about $8 taxi cost); 4 minutes via the
Blue Line subway.
Please note that we highly recommend taking public transit or
cabs while visiting the city. You can even get to places like Ravinia and
Oak Park to the Frank Lloyd Wright area via CTA or Metra trains. Parking
downtown is very expensive $16-25 for lot parking with no in/out. Valet parking
runs $9-12 per restaurant and if this is added onto a rental car cost, it is
really much cheaper and easier to let a cab driver escort you around town if
public buses and subway trains
are not your cup of tea. Public transit is very convenient from our
location to places like:
Newberry Library, Loop, Millennium Park, Grant Park, Art
Institute of Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Illinois at
Chicago, Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, DePaul University, Sears Tower, John
Hancock Observatory, Museum Campus, Wrigley Field, US Cellular Field, Soldier
Field, American Girl Place, et al.
If you are driving your own car or on renting one, we offer off-street or garage
parking (depending on the unit you rent) although we still recommend that you park
and explore the city via public transit. We sell CTA Visitor Passes here
in 1,2,3 and 5 day denominations
and 7 day passes are available at a Currency Exchange a few blocks from the inn.
Location From McCormick Place
We are 6 miles NW from McCormick Place; approx. 15 minutes via car or cab with
cabfare running approximately $12-14.
Location From Hyde Park
We are 10 NW miles from Hyde Park, the University of Chicago or the Museum of
Science and Industry. There is free parking on the east side of the MSI in
Jackson Park. We recommend taking the #6X, the Jackson Park bus Express bus from
State Street, in the loop to the MSI.

between 35 minutes to 1 1/4 hour depending on traffic and will cost

our Superb units - please let us know if you plan on having a vehicle while you
