there's not much to do around Union Station, except for the Sears Tower, and maybe a river boat ride. Most of the sight seeing on Michigan avenue and museums is 1-2 miles away.
I suggest either stay close to Union Station and take cabs/Ubers over to Michigan ave. or better yet, stay on Michigan Ave (lots of good hotels) and take cab back to Union station.
