I will be traveling from WI to an obligation in Winfield IL on 6/10. I wanted to stay close to this location, around 30 min, but also I want to be in an area that is closer to the city rather than farther away. This led me to bid in Oak Brook on a 4*. There are a lot of re-bids for Oak Brook when choosing 4* in the Western suburbs however I wasn't able to win a room, ending at $55.00.
I'm not super familiar with the burbs. Is Oak Brook the area I should target? And if so should I drop down to a 3.5*? What about Itasca? I don't want to spend much more than $55.00, what strategy should I use.
Thank you.
Bid $85 2.5* Anchorage - rejected
Bid $95 2.5* Anchorage w/ rebid zone - accepted Inlet Tower Hotel and Suites
I know that 11/21-11/22 is the Festival of Lights. I have been (unsuccessfully) bidding for 4* in NMA-River North from $75-$95 using rebids. I want to stay in that zone and star level for sure. What is the thought on catching inventory with that range?
I did just get a good deal on a backup that can be canceled (Monaco at $154 including tax/charges and free parking, and yes it's not NMA but pretty darn close) so I am free to be patient.

I started bidding at $37 with 3.5* in Oakbrook and added rebids in $1 increments up to $49.00 where I snagged Doubletree Hotel Chicago - Oak Brook.
Peace.
