We suggest that conference attendees stay at the Hyatt in Hyde Park because of its convenient location for the conference (ps: email us for UChicago Friend & Family Discounts!).
This large hostel is located in down-town Chicago at Congress and Wabash. Room rates start at $32 a night, with free breakfast.
Budget-minded participants might also want to consider options like Airbnb and Couchsurfing.
Limited numbers of couches, futons and hide-a-beds are available from students in the University of Chicago community. Please contact CLS for details.
