As a follow-up,

I have received additional information that I wanted to pass on to the group.

>Best Western (in the $109/night range) has been added to the list of
>hotels.  It is across the street from the Marriott.

The addresses and phone numbers for the Marriott and the Best Western are:

Marriott
540 N. Michigan Ave.
(312) 836-0100

Best Western
162 E. Ohio St.
(312) 787-3100

Additional information on the shuttles follows:

>Shuttles will run Saturday noon through Thursday from the Sheraton,
>Hyatt, Marriott and Best Western.  The people staying at the Best
>Western will walk across the street and catch the shuttle at the
>Marriott.  The shuttle delivers attendees at the convention
>center, not at the beginning of the pier like the taxis.

So it looks like we don't have to get as much excercise as I thought. :-)

I also forgot to mention that there is a website for the Navy Pier at

See you in Chicago,
