## Solution
For this challenge there is a picture Jonah apparently shot from his hotel room.

Google reverse search didn't bring good results, so I opened Google Earth and browsed the city for this certain view. Mostly searching for the tower on the left due to his relatively iconic top. Also there is a logo on the right side that vaguely looks like the `Boeing Logo`.

And on the location `41.883725180464275, -87.64299051030042` can the [`Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown West Loop`](https://goo.gl/maps/iH5f1E6fh3dEv2Ez8) be found.

Flag `uiuctf{hampton_inn}`
