Chicago Loop - Which Location
 

We will be arriving at ORD on a Sunday on a forthcoming trip. We then plan to have 3 nights in downtown Chicago, probably at the Palmer House Hilton, and then will be driving to Minneapolis via Great River Road.

We won't need a car in Chicago and can therefore avoid paying parking fees by renting at an HLE the night before we plan to commence our drive (we want to leave early so will pay for one night's parking). We'll get the subway from ORD to the hotel (done this before).

I was wondering which HLE those in the know might recommend. We will be renting an SUV, dropping off at MSP.

I have narrowed it to three HLEs, all seeming to be convenient for the Palmer House Hilton:-
West Loop HLE
or
401 N State Street HLE
or
Hyatt Regency HLE

Would appreciate any advice on this.

I've used the 401 N State Street HLE and received an upgrade (from F) both times.

Sorry I did not see this until now but for future readers:

At the Hyatt Regency HLE the cars are stored in the hotel's valet garage. You can sign for your rental during office hours but you do not have to pick up the car until you actually want it. So you do not have to pay to park the car overnight. You can go and sign at 5pm or whatever time and they'll give you a slip for the car. You present the slip to the hotel valet at any later time and they will bring you the car. So you can come back early in the morning to get the car when you actually need it.

It is a great way to save on one night's parking in Chicago.

Thanks! Great advice.
