Illinois not only sits at the heart of the United States but is in itself a state of firsts. This is where the very first skyscrapers were erected. It is also the very first state to have a Ferris wheel. The presence of world-class museums, great foods, incredible sights, beautiful state parks, and an enticing culinary diversity are some of the few reasons that make it one of the most visited states in the United States. If you intend to visit any part of this beautiful state, proper accommodation is imperative if you desire to leave with an overall pleasant experience.
