Hilton Garden Inn. It's about a mile away, but offers shuttle. Same place I stayed for Sun-Times. Unless I find something cheaper.

While most attendees to the National Sports Collectors Convention spend every hour that the show is open at the Convention Center browsing the dealer booths or waiting to have their favorite athletes sign autographs, there are some down hours after the show closes each day.
For those attendees who chose to stay near the Convention Center, the options have grown considerably since the last time we were in Rosemont.
One possibility is to visit one of the many new restaurants or other activities in MB Financial Park at Rosemont.
Located very conveniently directly behind the Rosemont Public Parking Garage, The Park at Rosemont has six major restaurants all with different themes. Included are:
Toby Keiths' "I Love This Bar" - a 35,000 sq ft restaurant loaded with country music memorabilia, good food and of course - country music.
Five Roses Pub - a restaurant in the style of the traditional Irish pub with Irish music.
Adobe Gilas - Billed as a traditional Mexican Cantina, they feature a vibrant décor and lively music.
Park Tavern - serves a mix of multi-cultural food served in an outdoor setting along with live music.
Hofbrauhaus - this 20,000 sq ft restaurant serves traditional German dishes with live music in their Bier Hall.
My Big Fat Greek Restaurant - specializes in a Mediterranean cuisine with hearty servings
After a good meal, you can burn of some calories by bowling a few frames at Kings, a 29,000 sq ft entertainment center featuring 20 bowling lanes, a billiards lounge and more. Kings also has a full service restaurant.
If you're not into bowling or billiards, take a walk over to Zanies, Rosemont's own Comedy Club or to Muvico, Rosemont's 18 screen movie multiplex also located in the Park.
OK- we've given you some places to eat (by the way, don't forget about Gibson's Steakhouse, located directly across from the Convention Center in the Doubletree Hotel), some physical activity and some laughs or a movie. How about shopping?
The brand spanking new Fashion Outlets Mall adjacent to MB Financial Park opens on August 1 during the National. 120 stores ranging from Saks Fifth Avenue, Prada, Gucci and Barneys to Nike, Crocs, UnderArmour and more will be part of the outlets.

I might have an extra bed. Got room with 2 queens. Asked a friend to go, but haven't heard back from him. I'd be willing to possibly split the room.
Might not be a terrible deal. Figure you'll pay 25 bucks a day for parking at the hotel, gas and tolls both ways and you're probably even. Plus you arent spending a day in the car...
