A few things to think about:

1. In terms of vehicles, you'll definitely get the best selection (particularly if you're 5* or PC) at O'Hare than at an HLE.
2. Depending on the time of day, going from downtown to O'Hare, getting a car, and then coming back downtown, could take well over two hours.
Agree completely on both points. I think you will be potentially fighting a lot of traffic to execute this. Neither location is particularly convenient to downtown. Have you looked at the location on 2828 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60657? It is closer and depending on where you are you can probably get there in 15-20 minutes from downtown.
