Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (Airport O'Hare ORD) Hyatt Regency

[djohannw]

For the last night before our return back to Europe we decided that an airport-hotel would be the way to go as we have to return the rental car by noon but our flight does not leave before six in the evening. O'Hare has decent train-connections to downtown, so we will return our rental upon arrival at the hotel and take the train from that time on.

We were hoping for the Hilton that comes up sometimes at $49 as it is on airport-property, but because our arrival is still quite some time away we decided to start a little lower than the known prices, and got accepted right away (for the third time today):

Not exactly what I expected, but not that bad of a surprise either. Suits our intentions very well as it is just a short walk away from the subway, so we don't even need their free airport-shuttle for the purpose of getting into the city. Maybe we can even get a late-checkout so we can leave our stuff in the room until the late afternoon - if not, we can store them at least.

Oh, and if our plans change we can just hang out in their pool until our flight takes off...

It's great that your plans can be so flexible and you're able to adapt to most situations.

Looks like you have a very nice trip planned, a bit of hotel leapfrog, but you'll see some different areas of the city and suburbs and i'm sure will have a great time!

Thanks for all your posts.
