Hotel and general reccomendations
Hi everyone this will be my first Pokemon GoFest event and I am so excited to be going this year with my girlfriend. We just got out for summer vacation so we are beginning to plan the trip, but everything we see are super expensive, especially the hotels, and since we’re still students, don’t really have the cash to go crazy overboard for a 3-day trip.
So we were just looking for general advice on not exactly cheap but affordable hotels (for us the high end is high 100-200 a night), preferably near Grant park or millennium park as were planning to adventure around those sides of Chicago (could be further if it isn’t an unreasonable travel), and also planning to go to the zoo and the beaches if possible also.
I saw the unofficial guide have food recs, and we both love trying out new food so will definitely give this a go, but am looking for recommendations from people.
We would also love to visit a shopping mall to pick up some souvenirs and clothes, so if there’s a good mall nearby please recommend.
Lastly, not sure if this is the right place for this, but our budget isn’t that high as you expect of students so please be gentle with our wallets!
