The Aragon Arms is about 5 blocks away through uptown side streets...stay away at nighthttp://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h��This place is closest but the evening walk could be eventful:http://www.yelp.com/biz/dolins-louis-chi��The Wilson (Men s) Hotel has one good review but the others are warnings:http://travel.yahoo.com/p-reviews-518194��The Darlington Hotel has no reviews but from the looks of it I don t think the customers have a computer to make one:http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h��The Riviera is about 2 short blocks from the Lawrence Ave CTA red line stop. Why not find a hotel in a better neighborhood and take the el to your venue? I only know of 2 people mugged at night on your route.
Look at hotels in Lincoln Park - because Uptown really gets rough at night.This looks nice from outside, and they have a parking lot nextdoor. http://travel.yahoo.com/p-hotel-349982-b��It s also easily accessable from the red line, so you could stay downtown and take the el. I actually take a cab there and the el or bus back. Depending if it s a weeknight or not; it s worth the cab back on a weeknight.
