Billiga hotell i Chicago: Bästa budgetboenden nära Michigan Ave & Magnificent Mile

Hur man hittar de bästa hotellpriserna i Chicago

"Billigt" är inte ett ord som du sannolikt kommer att stöta på när du letar efter ett hotell i Chicago, särskilt om du vill bo i de mest eftertraktade stadsdelarna närmast stadens action - downtown / The Loop, N. Michigan Avenue / Magnificent Mile och River North.

Men det betyder inte att besökare inte kan hitta hotell som erbjuder bättre värde än andra. Förmåner som erbjuds av olika hotell kan inkludera gratis frukost, ett läge inom gångavstånd från de främsta sevärdheterna du planerar att besöka eller rabatter till populära museer och attraktioner. Varje liten detalj hjälper när du är på semester, och ännu mer så när din destination är en stad i världsklass som har en högre prislapp än mindre populära städer.

Som du kanske förväntar dig är hotellpriserna billigare i förortsområden som Oak Brook, Schaumburg, eller under helgerna nära O'Hare Airport, men då kommer du att ha den extra kostnaden för att hyra en bil om du inte kör till Chicago från ditt hem. Parkeringsavgifterna i centrala Chicago kan vara en chock, och vissa hotell i förorterna tar också ut en daglig parkeringsavgift. Vårt råd är att lämna bilen hemma, eller om du flyger in, hoppa över hyrbilen helt och hållet. Besväret och kostnaden är bara inte värt det.

När är de bästa tiderna att besöka Chicago?

Det är inte förvånande att den mest prisvärda tiden på året att besöka Chicago också är den kallaste och potentiellt snöigaste. Men låt inte det avskräcka dig eftersom Windy City erbjuder en mängd fantastiska inomhusmöjligheter, inklusive museer, observatorier, sport (NHL-hockey och NBA-basket är toppaktiviteter) och kulturevenemang (opera, symfoni, teaterpjäser), och naturligtvis shopping.

December till mars är lågsäsong och då är hotellpriserna lägre, utom om det är en stor kongress på det enorma McCormick Place på Lake Shore Drive. Mellansäsong är april/maj och oktober/november, då priserna i allmänhet är måttliga (med Chicago-standard), särskilt i jämförelse med högsäsongsmånaderna juni-september. Flygpriserna kan också vara lägre under dessa månader.

Nära och under stora högtider som påsk, Thanksgiving, jul och nyår bör du förvänta dig att rumspriserna ökar. Men under hela året, om du kan undvika de mest populära helgdagarna och stora kongresser, bör du kunna planera för en mycket prisvärd semester i Chicago.

Plan Ahead for the Lowest Prices

We all know the phrase, “the early bird gets the worm”, and nothing could be truer than when it comes to travel. With more people traveling than ever before, and more frequently, if you are able to plan and book well in advance of your trip you could realize tremendous savings.

Additionally, if you have the flexibility to travel outside of peak season which will vary depending upon your destination, you will also be amazed at how much less expensive your getaway can be.

For example, you’ve never been to Disneyworld in Orlando and there are no children to cart along with you. Consider visiting during low season, which is during the fall when kids are back in school. Las Vegas? Summer may be hot, but prices are much cooler then, and especially midweek. Since you will most likely be indoors much of the time, summer in Las Vegas in an air-conditioned casino or lounging under an umbrella at an elaborate pool is rather nice.

The same is true of virtually all destinations. Travel during shoulder or low season can save you hundreds of dollars, euros, or yen on hotels and airfare, and better yet, the crowds won’t be there. Of course, no matter where you are going, Travelated has the best prices and widest selection of hotels.

Enjoy Chicago! It’s our kind of town.
