It's at the McCormick Center. It's up to you but TBH if you don't need to be here for another engagement, I wouldn't make a special trip...it's better than nothing but not what it used to be. Especially since there was no Fiat/Ferrari/Maserati exhibit now that they merged with Chrysler...just a bunch of 500s

And Gary...idk about you but I call bullshit on them "redlining" that Boss 302 and "bouncing off the red limiter" and "squealing the tires on the rollers"...not sure if they fed you those lines at press day but to me it sounded like he short shifted at maybe 5k...

Edit: but to answer your question it's a little bit south of where most of the more established hotels are. Not that it's a huge deal getting around and most hotels have their own parking (though I recommend you self park and walk a block or two...$50/day minimum valet f that)
