For cheap no frills lodging on the North Shore, try the Vista Motel in Highwood, one town north of Highland Park. It's a couple of blocks from the train station, but you'd still need a car to get anywhere, and you'd need a cell phone. Last summer it was about 30 something a night. It's not Ramada, but hey, it's not the Bates Motel either. Phone (847)432-7144.
For something a little more of these current times, there's a Red Roof Inn in Northbrook, just west of Highland Park. For a week stay you might be able to negotiate a reasonable rate.
