Parking
Downtown Chicago and River North form the walkable core of the city, home to the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, and world-class dining. It's the most convenient area for visitors but also the priciest — Chicago's 17.4% hotel tax hits hardest here. Budget hotels are scarce downtown, but you're steps from everything.
Pros
Cons
🛡️ Safety: Generally safe. River North is well-patrolled. Avoid Lower Wacker Drive area at night.
