Traveling to Chicago but staying in Lyons, how easy is it to get to downtown? |
Travel Info found a hotel in Lyons IL only 3.5 miles from midway and Midway METRA station, how easy will it be to get around and to the METRA station? ( taking the train into the city) Travel Tips I'm sure the hotel has a shuttle to Midway, then just catch the Orange line to downtown. Others Whoa! That's a sucky location! You'll have quite a trek! The Metra is nice...but what a pain! Cancel your reservation and stay downtown! It's worth the money! You haven't seen Chicago till you go to sleep there and wake up there. I hate taking the train...it's just a pain. 3.5 miles in Chicago is a long way! probably you will need to take a cab there for your trip. That's not a bad location if you want to visit Brookfield Zoo. I tried finding a typical route from a hotel on Ogden AV in Lyons to the Art Institute on Michigan AV. The normally very reliable RTA site said, "... could not complete my request. Please call 836-7000 for assistance." There are METRA stations in nearby Riverside and Brookfield for a quick trip to Union Station so possibly you'll have to cab it to the train first.
