what would be the 5 best things to see in chicago?
Is there a famous museum there? If so,, what is in it?
What hotel would be a good one that would be super convenient to everything?

5 main things:
1. Michigan Avenue shopping
2. Architectural Boat Tour (awesome views of the city and
you learn a lot about the buildings).
3. ANY Museum (Art Institute, Field Museum, Museum of
Science and Industry which is my personal fave.)
4. Millenium Park - you have to see the big Bean!
5. Lake Shore Drive - walk along it, drive along it, but it is a
must!!
If I can add one more 6. Chicago style pizza! Lou Malnati's is my fave, Gino's is pretty great and Giordano's is pretty amazing too.
Tips:
1. The Aquarium is nice and fun, but I would make that the
last on the list if that's something you are interested in...not
really something that is a chicago only thing...aquariums
are everywhere.
2. ANY hotel in downtown Chicago is close to everything.
Cabs, trains, buses, and walking will get you anywhere
you need to go.
3. If you get a chance venture outside of hustle and bustle of
the touristy stuff. Go to Lincoln Park and walk around,
there is a free zoo there called the lincoln park zoo.
Chicago has so much to see!!!
Good luck and have an awesome time!

Well, there will be no inexpensive hotels nearby. There's the Hyatt Regency, Swissotel, Marriott, Sheraton, Holiday Inn and Embassy Suites to name a few. All are reasonably close to Gino's East and the museums mentioned earlier.
The Art Institute has one of the best Impressionists collections this side of the Atlantic (the Louvre is better but in Paris).

Art Institute of Chicago
Field Museum
Planetarium
Aquarium
Navy Pier
All near each other near Lake Michigan and worth a visit.
