Places to stay in Wrigleyville?
My wife and I plan to be in Chicago to see the Cubs August 17 - 21. Usually we stay with friends, but we thought it might be better to get a room at an interesting inn or funky hotel near the ball park.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, we are looking for bleacher tickets for the Aug 17 game if anyone has some they need to sell.
Thanks.

I did some work computer work for them
Ambassador East is a great location only a block away from Division and the strip of bars and only a block or two away from the oak street beach and a quick cab ride to the ball park.

At Diversey/Clark
Days Inn
Inn @ Lincoln Park.
Inn @ Lincoln Park, that's funky. Some people may not like it. Prices are OK -- I've stayed there 2 years running. 25 min walk to Wrigley.
Mixed reviews on tripadvisor.com....some really hate the place, but if you spend most of your time out of your hotel, I think it's great.
It's 3 blocks from Lincoln Park. I love that -- I go running and walking to Diversey Harbor and points south.
Good Continental Breakfast. But the place is old, so it's funky. Figure in parking, if you have a car -- 10 to 12 bucks a day, about the same at Days Inn.

It's also in walking distance, and I've stayed there, old but in pretty good shape.

Hawthorne and such
On another note, I'll be in Chicago next weekend and as a lifelong Cubs fan, I am absolutely compelled to see this team play. I don't have tickets - what's the situation like before the game? If I get down there 4 hours or so before the Saturday game (2:55 start), will I be able to get a ticket? Do they reserve anything (bleachers or upper deck sections) for walk up sales or is my only option a scalper?

About tickets...
- Check the Cubs website on Friday afternoon. Sometimes they drop a few tickets for sale if employees/players don't claim them.
- Go to the box office at 9 am Saturday when it opens. Sometimes they have a few available.
