Help w/ Chicago OHare to Downtown Hotel Transport options Pls

I have a very short trip scheduled for Tuesday Oct 5 to Chicago.

I do not know the area at all & was searching online for a shuttle. The info stated p/u by neighborhoods and I got very confused.

Can someone share what is the best and cheapest shuttle from Chicago O'hare to Downtown MArriott?

The cheapest option is the CTA Blue Line train. It will cost $2.25 and take around an hour. Follow the signs from the baggage level that say "CTA Trains to City."

You can purchase a farecard from the vending machine in the station.

A shuttle will be around $30 one-way and a cab is around $45. If you're arriving during the rush hours, either will take much longer than an hour.

Exit the train at the Clark/Lake stop and you can catch a cab from there to your hotel for less than $10.
