COCAL VI Conference Housing Options

COCAL has obtained special group rates for hotel accommodations. The three locations listed below are within walking distance of the conference sites, and all make accessible rooms available upon request. 

Special Note: Please do not book rooms at the Congress Hotel Chicago.  It is very convenient to Roosevelt University, but it is also the site of a strike by maintenance and housekeeping employees.  They have been walking the picket lines there for over a year now!  If you want more information, consult their website at http://www.congresshotelstrike.info.

To book your room at a unionized hotel, consult the UNITE HERE! union hotel guide.
