Keith,
There are several hotels nearby Marc's place. Some right by 355 and North Avenue down the street from Haibeck. 355 South will take you to 55 and headed back to St. Louis. See you in a few weeks.

Re: Hey! you boyz from illinoiz
The Boyz can certainly do a better job recommending watering holes but when I dropped my car off and when I picked it up I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in Elmhurst. The address and phone number is:
370 N IL Route 83 Elmhurst, Illinois 60126 USA Phone: 1-630-941-9444 It's less than 5 miles away from Marcs and very easy to navigate. You can also get breakfast and dinner at the hotel. I don't know what Marc did for you but my guess is you'll likely enjoy the ride home. Good Luck, Scott |

Re: Hey! you boyz from illinoiz
I have a friend in Chicago & he was telling me it wasn't very good not that long ago. if it's turned the corner, awesome. how long of a drive is it for you to get home, Keith?
