"The last day of my stay, a guy with a huge balloon in the shape of a rat was making a lot of noise with a speaker at the main door of the hotel, something very unpleasant. I don't understand why the hotel allowed that."

You’ll find cheap prices on Expedia for your Chicago escape. However, a range of factors like the season, length of stay and your choice of hotel will determine how much your holiday to Chicago costs.
What are the cheapest months to go to Chicago?
December, January and February are the best times to look for cheap Chicago holiday packages. Opting to travel in quieter periods means you’ll typically find lower prices on accommodation and flights.
How many days is enough for Chicago?
To fully enjoy a Chicago holiday, we recommend booking for 2 days. Divide your time between visiting Michigan Avenue, Chicago Riverwalk and other well-known attractions, on top of experiencing neighbourhoods like Central Chicago and Near North Side. If you’ve got some spare time, include a day trip or tour in your Chicago holiday itinerary.
Is it worth booking a holiday package to Chicago?

How to find the best Chicago package deals?
Use Expedia’s filters to find some great Chicago package deals. When you start your search, just set your maximum budget and then order the results by “Price: low to high.” If you want to save, plan your trip for midweek, or browse for Chicago package deals in the low season.
