I know a little abut Chicago and I know the hotel could be expensive. Any help would be appreciated.

If you know what day you are coming, reserve your room early. If there's conventions going on, it could be hard to get a room in the city. You can get some really good deals if you look.
One of the best rooms I got and at a good price was at the Hard Rock. Another issue is the parking. You generally pay for that every time you park. Parking in Chicago is not cheap. I've paid as much as $30.00 every time I parked the car!
If you don't mind a little bit of a drive, a room near one of the hotels is generally not expensive and the parking is free. Drive to the city, park and cab it!
Oh... and if you go to the museums.... Park all the way at the end pat the Shedd... The parking is the cheapest there! Most people don't go that far back so they don't know this.
Parking at the lakes are free.
Sorry to go on and on about parking. I was a marketing manager and I worked in the city a lot. Parking could could over $200 if you don't know what you are doing.
I hope this helps!
