Thanks

I just took the master class there in Nov. The best deal I found on a place to stay was the Mariott Townplace Suites in Lombard. They give you a Wilton student discount and are the only ones with a shuttle to the school. Really nice people and a good place to stay. The rooms have little kitchens and there's a Target next door within walking distance. I know some of my classmates were going to go back for those classes. Wish I could!!

How did you get from the airport to the Mariott I don't want to rent a car unless I have no choice, I am definitely planning on staying somewhere that offers shuttle to and from the school and am hoping to chat with someone who will also be attending. I appreciate your help

I got a great deal on a rental car so that's how I did it. One girl did get a ride from a shuttle company for $30. You can call the hotel and they can help you. Taxis are about $50 so that's another way. There's also a train, but I don't know the details of how it works and the hotel would have to pick you up from the station. You have to go to a pizza place called Giardino's while you're there. The best stuff I've ever had! icon_lol.gif
