An organization picked the Hyatt Regency for a regional conference. I'd like to go, but even if I took their early bird package, the hotel would cost me $200 a night. Can I do much better than that in downtown Chicago? $200 right now is a little over 2 days pay for me, and it really doesn't seem worth it. I don't need a river view, I just want to be near enough to the conference where I won't get mugged on my way there.
