Don't think you can use the Voucher except @ Amtraks Hotel, ( but I guess you could pay out of your pocket)but most of the time they're pretty nice/ If you're lucky you'll be in a Loop Area Place or Close to Union Station( we were put up @ the Hyatt Last time we missed Connections in CHI).So indeed the 8 is arriving too late. I was able to reach Customer Relations when I noticed a roomette on the LSL tomorrow had opened up. She reserved it for me and noted it in my dossier. I'm curious about what hotel they'll put us in. Best way to find out? Can I choose my own hotel even if I have to pay the difference between the voucher and the charge?
The Taxi Voucher is usable to any Hotel, and the Food $$$ they give you is yours to use!
Congrats on snagging a Roomette on the Lake Shore!
