The Illinois Hotel and Lodging Association is asking for a bailout or else they're warning there could be no vacancies at all, and hotels would close.

They are asking state officials to allocate $250 million in federal rescue plan money to the hotel industry.was the worst performing hotel market of any city in the US with occupancy just around 25-percent.

FOX 32 spoke with the CEO of Sable at Navy Pier Bob Habeeb, who would like to hire Chicagoans. But right now they can only accommodate 100 employees — when they essentially could hire 400."If you think of it in the human sense, it's like if you haven't been working for two years, we've dug ourselves into a financial hole and just being normal won't be enough for us to make measurable improvement on the hole we've dug ourselves into," Habeeb said.
