Hotwire Hotel: Hyatt Lodge or Westin

[Yoopereh]

Good morning,

I'm trying to figure out if a Lombard/Oak Brook area hotel is the Westin or the Hyatt Lodge on the McDonald's Campus. I would much perfer the Hyatt Lodge, but I fear it's the Westin.

It's for two nights, Aug. 5-7.

Amenties:

-Smoke free rooms

-Fitness center

-Pool

-Restaurant

-Business Center

-High-speed internet

-Golf nearby

-Tennis nearby

It's a 4.5 star. There is also a bed option and a mention of valet parking.

Thank you very much!!!

I updated both, sorry for not doing that. I appreciate the help.

The Hyatt Lodge has smoking rooms, so the smoke free icon would lead me too to believe that this is the Westin.

Last year I was trying to target the Hyatt Lodge (specifically because I was travelling with a smoker) and was able to get it through Priceline. By doing a search of winning bids on this board, I found that there seemed to be a floor at which the Westin could be won, but that there were lower bids accepted at the Hyatt. I did win the Hyatt with a low-ball bid. There are certainly no guarantees, but I thought I'd offer this as a possible option. My thinking at the time was that if I still won the Westin instead of the Hyatt, at least I'd being paying less than what was offered on Hotwire. Should you decide to try this route, I'd suggest you do your own search of winning bids and draw your own conclusions since my experience was last Dec (and the Rennaissance may have also been upgraded since I bid).

I'll look and see what I can figure out. If I'm confident enough that it will be the hotel I'm looking for, I'll try it. Thanks!

The 4.5* property above matches previous reports for the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center so that would be my best guess for this one... the Hyatt Lodge at McDonald's Campus is currently rated 4*.

Tried $45 in hopes of getting Hyatt Lodge on Priceline. May try again after the 24 hours are up.

Sorry to hear that your bids today weren't accepted. Best of luck on the next round of bids and thank you for keeping us updated.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

No dice on my $50 bid tonight. I'm nervous to try any higher amounts at the risk of getting one of the other two four-star hotels in the area.

Then what about HOTWIRE??

It's not on HOTWIRE, sad to say.

So with one day to go what is your gameplan... will you book direct at full price or compromise the hotel you want in exchange or a disount?

Not sure yet, I'm considering moving the trip back a couple days even. I will be sure to let you know.
