UChicago is ridiculously poorly served by hotels. I think there is only one small hotel in the Hyde Park area, and it’s a significant hike from the University (also a few more convenient b-and-b’s). The University basically directs people to hotels in the Loop. From there, you either take the 6 Bus (along the lakeshore, beautiful!) or the Red El line (not so beautiful!) to 55th Street and the 55 Bus from there (in either case, although if you take the bus down the lakeshore you might choose to walk from where you get off – 1-2 miles, depending on where you’re going). You can take the Metra trains, too, but they are more expensive and don’t really get you much closer than the bus.
