It was just across the bridge from the Chicago Tribune and the Magnificant Mile and as a single female traveller I was happy walking around and back to my hotel on my own after dark in this area. The Millennium Park, Cultural Centre, Navy Pier and Lake etc ... are all well within walking distance and the trolley tour bus stops almost opposite.
There is a river taxi just across the bridge which will take you back to a stop just by Union station for $2 which is great if you are hauling suitcases and feel like enjoying the view.
