Great value and convenience
We have stayed at the Lake Shore Ramada in Chicago 3 times while visiting UChicago and will be staying there again next month. The hotel is super convenient to the University and even has a shuttle to the school a few times in the morning. A city bus stop is also close by. The University and AARP have very reasonable rates. We've had several breakfasts at the hotel restaurant and the food is good and reasonably priced. The restaurant has a gorgeous view of the lake as well. If you are looking for a fancy place, then this will not be for you, but the rooms are perfectly adequate and clean and the desk help is friendly and knowledgeable . We highly recommend the Ramada Lake Shore.
