| Elk Grove Village is near O'hare, but no where near Navy Pier. I stayed at a hotel near Navy Pier, but right now I cannot remember the name of it but it was a bit pricey.
There is parking right at Navy Pier if you want to stay in Elk Grove, but you won't get the full experience of visiting Chicago, with all the other stuff to do. The museums are great also and all next to each other, plus the restaurants in the city, omg, to die for. Plus if you are flying in what about a play or going up Sears Tower!!
Stay in Chicago if you can and you won't get shot, geesh!!
I met up with David from Ohio at Navy Pier a fellow pumper and he is still alive. David if you see this post where did you stay?
