Chicago Passport office
Looks like I will be headed to Chicago to get the kids' passports in person. Any advice on a hotel not too far from the Federal Building?

Don't know how much you're willing to spend. The Burnham is well located and pleasant:

It's pet friendly, so it may well be kid friendly too!

Yes, Burnham would work fine and the Atwood Cafe is inside too and they were kid friendly with my granddaughters.

Also Hotel Allegro is doable if you can't get into the Burnham. Cadillac Palace Theatre is attached there. Kids may get to view some actors/actresses coming/going.

Also look at the Silversmith and the two Hampton Inns (the one that is further away has suites.) Some summer weeks in Chicago are very expensive; a lot depends on convention and festival bookings.

I have tracking numbers!! Nothing shows up yet in the system, but I will continue to check all night long. It is looking better.
