I'd recommend Amm's Limo - http://www.ammslimo.com
Ask for Jimmy, he will take care of you!
Something maybe worth looking into, there are shuttle buses from Gurnee Mills to downtown, mainly for the sailors from Great Lakes Naval Training Center to get downtown, you can usually get a van to yourselves when they deadhead it back north for another load of sailors on liberty. The drop off zone is where the old Rock and Roll McDonalds was, I will find out the skinny next time I am in Gurnee.
You might want to get a hotel in Gurnee, Six Flags is putting in a water park for next year. I recommend the Hampton Inn Gurnee over the five other hotels in walking distance. Also, if you are shopping fans, Gurnee Mills mall is an indoor outlet mall with about 200+ stores, 20 resturants 20 movie screens, ice skating rink, rifle range, etc. There is usually about 30+ tour buses parked there for shopping tours there. 
Not knowing what you want to do in Chicago limits me in recommending something, Chicago is a 24/7 city, there is ALWAYS something going on that interests me.

Thanks for the reply, lots of info there. Is it easy to get from downtown to Wrigley? I like staying downtown for sure, love the city life downtown. Will look into the limo service but not sure that would be sometihng we would want to do. I'm going with my mom, brother, and girlfriend... You got any hotels I should look into downtown that are priced decently? Going to be about a 4 night stay I think. |
