Visitors coming to Chicago to attend a Cubs game often want to stay close to the stadium, and if your main purpose for visiting is to explore the area around Wrigley Field, this is a good option.
However, there aren’t as many hotels in this area, and thanks to a cheap and efficient public transportation system, it’s easy to get from the downtown area to Wrigleyville, so staying in this area isn’t a necessity and in fact if you plan on exploring Chicago, it makes more sense to stay at a hotel near Michigan Avenue. But, if you want to stay at a hotel near Wrigley Field, here are a few options.
