Help me find motel near united center (condos, hotels)

[moko107]

Looking for a motel along where the dan ryan and eisenhower freeways meet. Somewhere near the united center or the university of illinois. Just motel 8 or something along that line for an overnight stay. I seem to recall some on s halstead maybe in the less than $50 range. Also are these still safe? Thanks.

and no, its not safe anywhere near the dan ryan, or the UC

Unfortunately, the types of hotels you're looking for don't exist in that area. It's only about a mile from the Loop from the United Center/UIC areas, so you're pretty much relegated to the downtown hotels if you want to be close, which can be pricey ("cheap" means finding something for less than $150-$200 per night). You would need to go to the suburbs to find the less expensive chain hotels.

This should be qualified - going from downtown to the UC is perfectly fine and filled with expensive condos. Be at your own risk when you go west of the UC, though.
