This would be a possible match for the Westin North Shore or Renaissance North Shore, although I'd lean towards the former. Both nice hotels, can't really go wrong with either. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the area.

How high and for what star rating have you already tried on PRICELINE?

The Sheraton Chicago Northbrook Hotel would be my best guess for this HOTWIRE property.

I have been trying on Priceline for the Evanston - Skokie - Nikes area.  I have been bidding on 3* and have gotten as high as $72, but not gotten a win.  I would prefer this area, but the prices seem so much higher for less ($118 for a 3*) compared to the Norhtbrook - Glenview - Mt. Prospect area.  

Thanks again!

Basically, the Evanston-Skokie area takes overflow traffic from downtown first, as it's closest to the outer boundary of the city line. Only when things are really bad downtown do you see the Northbrook area start to take on overflow from downtown, as well.

 

Personally, I actually kind of prefer the Northbrook area. Evanston's great, but rarely do the Evanston hotels appear - the Skokie hotels are seen more commonly as a win. Skokie is fine but less convenient to public transit. Most of the Northbrook Hotels are an easy drive from a Metra station and it's a really very nice area. For example, the Sheraton mentioned above is in a great location near a lot of restaurants and a Metra station's just up the street. I think that's a great deal for that property.

 

Please let us know what you decide and if you have additional questions.

Thanks for your help!  You called it correctly.  Very pleased with this win!  I did run it through your site HOTWIRE link as well.

Congrats on your success. :)

 

I think you made an excellent choice. This is a newer property, which is on the edge of a very nice mall - there's a Whole Foods on the other side of the mall, as well as a number of restaurants scattered through the mall. There's a Target and Costco nearby, as well. Also, lots of restaurants within an easy drive - let me know likes/dislikes and I'd be happy to offer recommendations.

 

This is the nearest Metra station:
