For hotels, there are a few right off of I-55 at Route 30 too. A good spot for anyone doing this.
The one already mentioned in Romeoville is a good choice.

Just *don't* stay closer to the track, at the hotels off I-80 on Larkin in Joliet!

I live right by all that, and pass through Romeoville on 55 ever day, if anyone wants me to check anything out for them.

If I had a guest room or something, I'd offer to let some people crash here.
