I stayed at that hotel property when I spoke at the Chicago Seminars a couple of years ago.

I did not rent a vehicle; yet there were a number of FlyerTalk members who graciously offered me a ride — and I appreciated their generous gestures.

Once, I did have to rely on shuttle service — so all I did was take the shuttle from one hotel property to the airport; and then take the shuttle from the other hotel property from the airport.

While that is not the most convenient option, it was not as bad as I thought.
