It is a short walk to the Red Line on the train, which takes you to the Loop. I cannot comment on parking as I have no car. A very nice breakfast is served to Tremont guests at Ditka's Steakhouse next door for $5 in the mornings. Even as a Platinum member it is still $5, but it is very good.

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Fabulous location, great rate, big room, and a true upgrade. This is one of those stays that make me so loyal to the Starwood Brand.
Five bucks? That sounds like a steal. I haven't been to Ditka's but I have heard it is very nice.
