this place is in a great area of the city, it's safe, close to the aragon, downtown, bars, places to eat, clubs, 24 hour transportation

I highly recommend the W Hotel City Center. I stayed there in July and had an amazing time. The staff and service were excellent. Its not exactly walking distance to the Aragon, but it is two blocks from Sears Tower and about five from Millenium park. I had the best french toast at their restaurant and the room was so beautiful. There is also a great bakery around the corner that is very economical. So, if you're interested in doing more than just the concert, it would be perfect.

back during the 20 minutes I was seriously thining about going I had a hard time finding anything remotely reputable within walking distance to the venue. The best I came up with was a B&B a few blocks away called the Inn on Early (esily found with a Google or Yahoo search,) which was about a mile or so away. Seemed nice. When I inquired, they only had one room left - and that was 10 days ago.

Otherwise, you should be looking at something on the north side of the city - but you'll be facing a decent walk or a short cab/train ride to get to the show.

For searching puposes on the travel sites, the closest "attraction" seemed
to be Wrigley Field.

Hi,
for those familiar with the area, i'm looking for a hotel thats walking distance to the venue. Thus, I want the chance to freshen up since i'll be in line since the morning. Thank you.

seriously, anything within walking distance, stay away from. your best bet is looking in lincoln park or wrigleyville. getting to the venue will take a matter of minutes by cab/car. taking the bus or train will take within fifteen minutes. for example, from the inn on diversy and clark, walk east about 3 blocks and take the broadway bus to lawrence and walk half a block west to the venue. from diversy to lawrence where the aragon is located, i can drive that in less than 5 minutes. bus will take 15. the area is improving, but there are a lot of shadey places in the area.

yeah, northside, Lincoln Park is your best bet, I used to live round there and it's lovely, with quite a few hotels such as Days inn/Quality inn and if you're looking for something really cheap but clean and decent there is The Arlington Hostel which I stayed in last month. You can catch the brown line downtown too for $1.75!!
