Going from O'Hare Hilton to the Embassy Lakefront

This will take place on Sunday morning 7/15. We will have 3 kids, suitcases and a stroller. I think I have 3 options:

1)Take a cab straight to the Embassy: easiest option but $45 aprox.

2)Take the blue line to Grand and then take a cab from Grand to the Embassy.

3)Take the blue line to Grand and then the 65 bus to Columbus and Illionis which looks like it%26#39;s right there at Embassy Lakefront.

This is our first time in Chicago, so I just can%26#39;t picture myself taking the train and/or the bus with suitcases, stroller and kids. I also think that we%26#39;re not the first ones doing this. Which would be our best way to go?

Going from O'Hare Hilton to the Embassy Lakefront

Spend the $45 and take a taxi. The blue line CTA stop @ Grand doesn%26#39;t have an elevator (lots of stairs to haul stuff up). You could take the blue line to Clark + Lake stop -- it has elevators as well as escalators -- and then a taxi to the hotel (fare should be less than $10).

Going from O'Hare Hilton to the Embassy Lakefront

I am not a fan of the Blue Line. It is old, very slow, and not very clean. Spend the money and take the cab.

You can also take the Blue Line to Clark and Lake, then take a cab for about $10 to the Embassy. Clark/Lake station has elevators.
