$81 per Night B&B for Center City Chicago is a Great Family Value

Chicago is one of our favorite cities for families, because Chicago family attractions are world class. Yes, we know the Windy City can be cold and snowy in winter; that's why tourism businesses throughout Chicago are facing their “slow season.”

Despite the fact that many of the top family attractions are indoors, some big name hotels are offering discounted rates. But if you add up parking fees, WiFi access, payTV, a little room service, and other drive-us-crazy style pricing, a family's checkout bil at a fancy hotel can often be much higher than expected.

That's why this new deal from Days Inn Chicago, winner of the 2009/2004 Days Inn Property of the Year Award, caught our attention. Stefanie Hrejsa, Days Inn Chicago's general manager, introduces her pricing with, "Many hotels nickel and dime their guests for the use of additional services." Not here.

For real, Ms. Hrejsa's room rates start at $81 per night in a deal that is good through March 31, 2011.

Their room rate for the classic double or queen starts at $81 Sunday- Thursday nights, and at $101 over the weekend. These prices include free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast, a cozy lobby to read a book together in, free access to Bally’s Total Fitness for a workout, valet parking and upgraded bedding. No hidden fees.

This truly cheap lodging is located 2 miles north of downtown, in the heart of bustling Lincoln Park/Lakeview at 644 West Diversey Parkway, Chicago, IL 60614. At Days Inn Chicago, you're within walking distance to Wrigley Field and Lincoln Park Zoo and just a short cab ride from DePaul University, Michigan Avenue, McCormick Place and Navy Pier. You can tell your teens that it's also said to be the "Rock and Roll Days Inn" because it has been a home away from home for many known bands.
