Since we only had 4 days in Chicago, we decided to stay close to downtown area to get us some more time.
We arrived pretty late on our first night and we chose to stay at Hilton Chicago O’Hare Airport.
在芝加哥只有四天的時間,所以我們選擇住宿的時候是以地理位置方便為優先。
因為機票改了時間,我們到的第一個晚上已經將近午夜,於是決定住在從登機門走不用十分鐘就到的Hilton Chicago O’Hare Airport.

I complete forgot to take a picture of the bed. As you can see in the picture below, It’s decent size. It was about 8 mins walk from the gate, which is super ideal for late arrivers at the airport.
One little complaint: The AC is pretty loud (it makes squeaky noise) but luckily it wasn’t hot so eventually we shut it down and I was able to sleep in complete silence.
啊,我完全忘記要拍床的照片,但從下面照片也看得出來房間空間蠻大的。
住下來唯一的小抱怨是冷氣好吵,咿咿歪歪的。還好當天溫度算涼,最後直接把風扇關了
還能在完全安靜的氛圍中睡去

To be close to everything, we stayed at Hampton Inn Majestic Chicago Theatre District the rest of our trip.
The location is perfect, the price reflects though. Our 2 queen bed room comes with breakfast but it was sort of unbearably bad. We gave it a chance and ate somewhere else the next day.
Overall I was happy with the stay. There is a blue and red CTA station right around the corner.
The area feels safe and you can walk to the art institute and cloud gate easily.
之後的幾個晚上我們都住在Hampton Inn Majestic Chicago Theatre District
位置非常方便,轉角就有紅藍兩線;
走去藝術館和千禧公園都算很近,附近安全也很多餐廳。
但黃金地段也反映在價格上一晚600 多美元,雖然有附早餐,但真的無敵簡陋/難吃
最後我們還是自己出去找咖啡廳

Transportation:
We walked around the city as much as we can and take metro when it make sense.
For an all day CTA pass is only $5/person which is pretty cheap compare to lots of places in Europe.
With the CTA all day pass you can take all the metro line (including the 45 mins ride from the airport to the city) and all buses.
We heard that the metro can be unreliable and we experienced it on one of the days that we are there.
It cost almost an hour delay, even though a free shuttle bus was provided for the temporary suspended green line stations services, we ended up walking part of the way back to downtown because the traffic was so so bad. It was taking the bus 30 mins to move 2 blocks.
交通:
芝加哥市區非常適合走路,路很大、建築物很美。對我們來說是個享受,所以如果能走我們都用走的。這裏公交當日票CTA all day pass一個人5美金,相當便宜。有時候為了節省時間也是一個很好的選擇。CTA地鐵和巴士都能坐,遠程到機場也不另外收費,真的超便宜!
來之前聽說地鐵不太可靠,果然就被我們遇到停擺的狀況。
雖然後來有提供免費接駁車,但當時交通已經大亂
公車前進速度非常非常慢,最後四個街口的距離卡了30分鐘才走一半
司機大哥所幸直接放我們下來用走的還快很多

Overall I recommend walking around downtown, it’s a beautiful city!
總之,如果在市中心附近就用走的吧!
還可以順道看看美麗的建築和各種商店。
