can anybody recommend a decent, reasonable hotel in chicago, preferably in the area of lakeview/belmont/whatever you call it?

UPDATE: speaking of hotels in chicago, jeff has put up plenty o pictures of our last stay there, courtesy of the lovely gray family, for johanna's graduation. i look normal in about 40% of them and really godawful in the other 60%. so enjoy!

DOUBLE UPDATE: totally unrelated, but, heh, i look like i'm singing in this photo. drew has a bunch more of great shots from Unbuckled.
