Budget hotels in Chicago cater mostly to travelers and those who attend seasonal big city events. Hence, there are scores of hostels and apartment-style lodgings in the city.

Location is relevant to hotel rates so lodgings in areas such as in the upscale neighborhood of Lincoln Park can command a higher rate. Much cheaper accommodations can be had at lodgings near Amtrak and the Union station.

Interiors of most budget and discount hotel rooms in Chicago can be uninspired. Room amenities are kept to the basics like air-condition, TV with HBO, a well-lit work desk and a selection of toiletries.

In-room complimentary may include tea/coffeemakers, hair dryers, iron and ironing boards, free local calls, long-distance access, and weekday newspaper. Some may offer a complimentary coffee in the morning and wine reception in the evening.

Facilities for business like data ports, voice mail, fax machine, photocopying services, two-line speaker phones with voice messaging and high-speed internet connection can be requested at an extra cost. Valet parking is charged as well.

One can relax in unpretentious leisure at the New Millennium Park, the House of Blues, Navy Pier, Hancock Tower, North Michigan Avenue and Water Tower, Lake Michigan and Lincoln Park Zoo.

The Chicago Children’s Museum and The Museum of Contemporary Art requires a visit. The famous elevated train known as the 'El' is also worth a see.

For a little spending or value-shopping, good buys are waiting at are Magnificent Mile, Michigan Avenue, Wrigley Field, Loop Shopping and Clark Street. Chicago's signature foods reflect the city's ethnic and working class roots.

Affordable and quick eats are traditional American burgers and the locally popular deep-dish pizza. A thin-crust pizza in Chicago is crispy, rather than floppy New York version.

Chicago serves its hotdog with sliced tomato, chopped onion, mustard, pickle relish, celery, peppers, salt and a dill pickle spear. But one rarely sees the locals rarely smudging ketchup on a Chicago hotdog.

There are area cafes littering just about everywhere in Chicago. What makes up for very little ambience in these café spots are the reasonably-priced and good choices of coffee, tea and pastries.
