There is also a box titled “Any special requests or needs?” where you can provide the hotel with any additional details necessary. For additional information about accessibility accommodations, please contact us at accessibility@capricon.org.

What if the venue runs out of ADA parking spots?

In the event that all ADA parking spots are full, the Marriott has agreed to let us use their reserved parking as ADA overflow parking. This reserved parking is located directly across from the ADA parking spots. If you are a guest staying at the hotel, you will need to immediately check in at the front desk to get a parking sign and submit your license plate. If you are not reserving a room at the hotel, your process will be similar, but you’ll need to pay for parking at the front desk at the time of arrival. If you park in the ADA or ADA overflow parking spots and fail to pay for parking or fail to place the Marriott’s parking sign on your vehicle, your vehicle may be towed at your expense.

Can I bring my pets?

Unfortunately, no. Only service animals are allowed at the Marriott Chicago O’Hare. Companion animals are prohibited.
