|  #1 Posted on 12.1.06 2031.58 | I'll be in Chicago for the Wrestlemania weekend and was wondering if anyone knows of any hostels they can recommend. Safety, a good location and not too expensive is what I'm looking for. I've done some googling and found some info, but figure'd I'd check here as well.| Promote this thread! |           | spf

And it's very nice too. There's a sandwich shop in the lobby that is very tasty and a Thai place a block or so away that is awesome. And it's a block away from the train that will take you to the arena (wait - is it at United Center, or Allstate arena)... You might have some transfering 
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center. | spf

There's actually a ton of things popping up in that area now. And it would be the Blue Line to Rosemont and then a bus to the Allstate Arena. The Blue Line stop is about 3 blocks away from there.
Sorry to sound geeky, I go to school right across the street from that hostel :) |
