I will be in chicago for a weekend vacation soon. I am drinving there from ohio but will be relying on public transportation once there & will be out late drinking so i need a hotel that isn't too expensive but where i can catch the blue line (or red line) back to it at all hours of the night wasted. the ones downtown are too expensive for me (i'm looking to pay $60-$70/night for 3 nights). i don't mind if the train ride is a little long but would rather not have to transfer much b/c i plan on being drunk. any suggestions?

I just wanted to add that I will have one male companion with me, so I won't be walking around drunk late at night all by myself...

First of its at least $79 for the avg hotel in Chicago on weekdays. You can try hostels.com to get as low as $30 per night. The University of Illinois Chicago is right next to the blue line and the Greyhound (latter 2 are opp. on the same street). Try to hook up with a dorm person through Craigslist or go on google maps to find local businesses near the address of UIC. The blue line runs diagonal from O'Hare airport . So try the CTA website for nearby hotels, although its inadvisable to walk around wasted in the trains.

Not exactly the answer you are looking for, as the place is about a mile from the el. But Heart O'Chicago motel (5990 North Ridge Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60660,PH# 773-271-9181) has low rates in your range and is supposed to be a decent place to stay.
If you are very drunk, take a cab for a shart fare ride from the Granville or Thorndale Red Line Stops.
