I am planning to visit Chicago and am not sure if I should stay downtown Chicago or in O'Hare. I've already made a big mistake visiting a big city that was congested with traffic and expensive parking, which made it hard for me to book appointments. Traveling can be very expensive, so it is important to me that I stay somewhere easy for my future appointments to get to.  
   
 I'm new in this business so any help the board can give me would be really appreciated.  
   
 Thanks in advance

i always advise our first time visitors to stay near O'Hare..many clients prefer it because of easy accessibility..the hotels are first class..parking is a breeze..there is really no congestion to speak of..once you get the feel of our city..you can always try Downtown..it is better to get your feet wet first before jumping in the crowded pool..enjoy your stay..

Hey girl, I am visiting Chicago soon too and from all the info I received you can stay in a couple of areas during your visit.  

O'Hare area is fine, but try to avoid the hotels near the Rosemont Convention Center. They charge $20 or more for parking.

..... I spent a good amount of time in downtown, o'hare and oak brook and found I liked the business that came to me in downtown & o'hare much better vs oak brook.

if I were you I would split between ohare and downtown. I really do like both, I would stay out of oakbrook as le been very evident on making providers life hell.

That's a good idea. I guess I will visit both places while I'm there.  

You will need a higher caliber gentlemen if you stay inorth of the river downtown or river north or the Gold Coast the loop does not work well the downtown north is wonderful plus her often great bargains on four star hotels on Hotwire.
Staying in a first-class downtown hotel will definitely pay off for you. Let me know and I'll be there.

The class of gentleman is significantly higher if you are in the River North,Gold Coast or downtown north of the river neighborhoods You'll find it is safer less  le presence virtually zero and you can get great bargains on four and five star hotels on Hotwire. Choose a week when there is a nice convention in town and you'll be virtually it's busy if you care to be plus you'll be invited to great restaurants for wonderful meals and fun evenings on the town. Let me know when you'll be here I'll be waiting.

whether you choose ohare or downtown it will be a pain or a blessing for most people....guys who stay downtown will see it as a pain going out to ohare and vice versa so why not just see who you get more interest from before you come and base your decision on that.  

I think I'm going to need a tour guide. Maybe someone would not mind being my host/hostess in Chicago and showing me around

Jordan,
welcome to the Chicago community, you will find many incredible peeps here, both Ladies and Gents, that will make your adventure, to our great city, an incredible experience.

Jordan, just saw your profile.  You should stay with me at my place and forget about anywhere else!!
 

But I was in Chicago for 5 days so that worked pretty well.   I did that on the very good advice of another lady from MN who travels here.   I liked both areas equally well.........both have their pros and cons.

hands on you darlin'
that meet and greet was fun and I was close to sweeping both you and Ava away, alas...

You may also want to plan a trip to Milwaukee.  While I have found one provider I see regularly, the variety is limited.  Only a 90 min trip by car from O'Hare and I would stay by the airport.  Stay away from Brookfield if you do come up

After looking at your reviews and website I don't care where you stay cause I will be there regardless.
