Flying
You have options!
- Ohare airport is 10 miles. Midway airport is 15 miles. Traffic wise, Ohare is a shorter drive.
- Uber is a very economical option and transports from both airports.
- DO NOT take a regular city cab from the airport. Call a surburban taxi as the taxi’s at the airport will charge you time and a half for trips to the suburbs (yes they are evil).
- 303 Taxi and American Taxi have flat rates to Lombard. From Ohare Airport: $2 From Midway Airport: $35. I recommend sharing rides to reduce costs. American Taxi can also be ordered online. Use the facebook group to coordinate.
- Want to see the city? The hotel has a free shuttle that will take you to the train station. The train schedule is here. It goes right into the heart of the city.
Amtrak Train
- Most major cities have Amtrak trains right into Chicago’s downtown Union Station
- Short walk from Union Station to Ogilvie
- Take the UP-W Metra Train Commuter Line from Ogilvie to Elmhurst train station.
- Call the hotel for a shuttle ride from the train station.
