I had been looking at the Travelodge. Thanks for confirming I was looking in the right place.

That's good to know. I was worried with the new platforms on the Sears tower skydeck that it might be crowded.

If you have any questions about the area let me know, I work in the building next door, it's in the center of Columbia's campus so there are students all over the place and it's a safe area (there used to be a mission a block away that has since been moved west so security concerns from 2008 and previous should be disregarded). The price of parking next door isn't to bad.

If you are into gangster history, you can go to the Green Mill Lounge where Al Capone frequented, or to the Biograph Theater where Dillinger (and the movie Public Enemies) was shot.
