Illinois is also not a concealed carry state in case anyone was wondering.
Good idea. We've already booked a rental car to get from the airport to the hotel but we'll try to take a shuttle and leave the rental parked on PIR day. Since I can't travel in air with my concealed weapon, I'm a bit wary of the train system. I'm from Texas you know, ha ha. I would like to take the train everywhere but don't want to start being a victim now.
John I agree it's definitely not a 15 minute drive. When we were in the Loop Neighborhood downtown Chicago, we asked for a cab quote from Yellow Cab and it was $120 dollars to the hotel. My jaw dropped and we ended up taking the Metra train to Waukegan station and cabbed it from there...

Gary I think it's because the airport is a hell of a long way from RTC.
Yeah like with SpringHill Suites it's not even posted on their website (but if you call them they offer the shuttle service to and from PIR) it's just so bizarre. It was really nice not having to drive to and from PIR, it was pretty convenient :)

I'm not in marketing but if I were for one of these hotels in the PIR or Chicago area for that matter, with your stay I would plaster a free shuttle service to and from Navy graduation. I'm kind of puzzled why hotel shuttle service to and from the airport appears non-existent? Maybe cause of the high price of gas? Who knows. But it looks to me that there's a good opportunity to be had to generate extra business on a weekly basis. There must be a reason why...
The "shuttles" are generally provided by outside vendors for a VERY reasonable price (like $3/person) and are not provided by the hotel...they generally have a system for shuttle reservations setup.....
Yeah I saw that, but every place listed said shuttle not provided. Not just the airport. Maybe they treat the base as a special condition. Hope so, it would be nice not to drive. Thanks Gary
Just for clarification the "shuttle" service I'm referring to is from Springhill Suites hotel to graduation and not from the Airport to hotel shuttle service.
John not to and from the Airport shuttle service!
The hotel uses an outside vendor for PIR as we call "shuttle". When we went in November the outside vendor is a taxi cab.
