Does anyone know the name of that motel near the
Museum [of Science and Industry, Chicago]?

Ramada Inn Lake Shore, 4900 South Lake Shore Drive

Though the Ramada is only a mile away from the Museum of Science and
Industry, it's somewhat isolated from other Chicago attractions. It
might work out better to stay downtown, getting a good deal through
Priceline or hotrooms.com. The Museum is very quick and easy to reach
either by car or public transportation from downtown. The CTA buses 6,
10, or 28 run express from downtown almost to the Museum door. Metra
Electric train service is even faster, though it runs less frequently.
