This place has been 3 different hotels in the last 2 years. :)

Offered $40, $45, then $50. Got it for $50. Very nice hotel. Pool open 24 hours to adults. Took the Southern Comfort down there and stayed up WAY to late! :)

The room had it in. Didn't give them any #.

Wow, this took it all out of me! Probably 12 re-bids in the general area. :)

Bonus...Free Hi Speed 2 nights in a row now! Sweet!! :)

If you can stay near Oak Brook, it is definately easier and cheaper.

Bryan

Had to work this for awhile. Hotels in Chicago are difficult right now.

PS> HI Speed for free FINALLY!! :)

This was a sweet hotel. Only bad thing, no Hi-Speed as usual. :)

Regency!

Well this is certainly the cheapest I have gotten this one for! :)

Started out at $28.00. Was offered the one time for 7 more bucks and as usual, told them to fly a kite. :)

Went up to $31.00 and was rejected, but not quite dejected! :o

Waived a 33 dollar bill in front of their nose and they took a bite!! :)

Well this might be interesting. I really needed to stay South like Lansing or Merrillville and tried everything for a 2.5* and above up to $45.00.

At that point I decided I could drive a little farther and started by adding a 2 star and worked my way farther out. Finally got this one after adding 5 zones and raising to bid to $28.00. I feel foolish staying in a Baymont for the same price as a Hyatt like the one in Lisle which always goes out at $28.00! :)

The craziest thing about this Hotel is that in certain rooms, you have to walk up stairs with your luggage! :) No elevator!

Now that is whacked! :)

Well I have not stayed here in a while. I just don't like this place for some reason.

Couldn't find anything in Oak Brook this time. :)

You sound like a real smooth talker! :) Again, I can almost always get Marriotts to do this. Starwood has been a little hard lately. As a matter of fact, more and more I feel that priceline people are getting harrassed. :)

Regards!

Well I am not used to paying this much but my wife is coming along and I wanted to set her up nice while I work.

This was a real struggle right from the start. Started out at $40.00 and went through all the rebids. After about 12 tries including dropping to a 2.5*, I had to go to our other computer and have my wife rebid.

You can do this as long as it is another computer and a different credit card.

$70.00 isn't all that bad considering that their best rate was $175.00 :)

Doubletree Guest Suites Downers Grove is the whole name.

This place was awesome. The rooms are big and very nice. They have wireless Internet. The location is very convenient.

Man I had trouble getting a room for Tuesday. I bid 5 area's 2.5* all the way up to 40 bucks and got nothing! Had to come up Wednesday instead.

Hope I get this place again! :)

It has been my experiance lately that more and more of these hotels will not put your frequent # in the system.

I can usually get Marriott to do it. Never Hilton.

This place was not a 3 star hotel by any means.

I'll probably get stuck here again because it is the lowest priced one in the area.

They have different wings from what I gather. I got the bad one I guess.

I'll find out tomorrow I guess.

How's this for a quick reply! :) They are stupid because they are old and run down. The pool was very cool according to my 10 year old.

Chow!

Priceline has made me the cheapest sucker in the world. Everything I buy these days I equate into priceline rooms. Let's see....that is 4 nights in Oakbrook! No way am I paying that! :)

Well this is a new one. Started out at $30.00 and got it strait away. Checked their website and it is offered for $109.00 per night. Sweet! :) Next week I will try it for less and let you know what happens.

No high speed Internet. When will these Jokers wake up? :)

:) 4 bucks cheaper this time! Cool.

I hate having to pay $10.00 per night internet though.

As many who stay around Chicago know, we are able to stay at the Hyatt Lisle for $28.00 per night. This morning under my door I got a bill for $27.60 + tax per night. After calling the front desk asking why I am being charged, they were very anamate about, "just throw that bill away, it was a mistake".

Here is the breakdown.

Priceline was charged $27.60 per night and $3.04 per night tax. The 3 night stay cost them $91.92.

I paid $28.00 per night. Taes and fees were $16.88, for a total charge of $100.88.

This means Priceline made $8.96 on my stay. I am sure the rest of you will find a way to figure out something more from this info. I am all ears.

By the way, Priceline uses a credit card to pay for rooms at this Hotel. It was billed to one. :)

Wow...what a surprise! I got this for $28.00 again!

By the way, they have a cool snack in the bar each night!

:) Nice place. Love the free Internet.
