Nearest train station to the May Fair Hotel?

HELP- i need a hotel near a train station so i can get downtown!?

• im from florida.. know NOTHING about public transportation. i need a hotel that is VERY close to a train station so i can get downtown.. im coming in from midway airport. preferably close to the airport so i dont get lost and miss my flight home.. but not necissary if there is easy access to a train. theres not many hotels with complementary airport shuttles near midway.. PREFERABLY under $100 the cheapest hotel but decent? any suggestions.. my main worry is getting around.. so near a train station is a must.. oh.. and theres bus' around? are they hard to ride and find your way around??

  Hi I saw your original Q a couple of days ago and i thought that the best solution for your circumstances would be to find you a place in one of two suburbs: Oak Park or La Grange Since my internet skills still need work had trouble getting a hotel in La Grange proper so I went to Oak Park and found the Carleton Hotel at $159 & their motel which is right next to it at $113.00 http://travel.yahoo.com/p-hotel-375068-carleton_of_oak_park-i Aside from the fact that Oak Park is a neat town to explore on foot ,the lodging is also located almost next to the CTA's Blue Line which will easily get you downtown Note: You are looking at the Blue line that is running almost due E/W Here's a map if you click on "the wests side "you will be able to locate the Oak Park station http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/maps/200806D.html One unexpected benefit of being by the Blue line is that if you get off at the Halstead stop and walk a couple of blocks north on Halstead you can get dinner at one of my favorite Greek restaurants in America :Greek Islands At the very least order the grilled octopus and the saganaki appetizers>OOOPA!!! http://chicago.metromix.com/restaurants/greek/greek-islands-greektown/136777/content Good luck
