This past friday, our hotel was thrilled to check in one of our newest guests, “Walk Around Sue”. This 6 foot tall and 13 foot long animatronic dinosaur came over to us, courtesy of the Field Museum in celebration of Sue the T-Rex’s 10th anniversary. If you missed her at our hotel, you can still head over to the Field Museum and challenge RoboSue to a staring contest or check out the 3-D film that tells the story of how Sue was found. And don’t forget, discounted tickets for the Field Museum can be purchased directly at our hotel.

Even Walk Around Sue enjoys our Free Parking
