The 2.5*/3* have not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. My guess is that the 3* may be the Holiday Inn Oak Brook with a new amenity set, but it may be something else. The 3.5* is a match for the Doubletree, Hilton Suites and Crowne Plaza. I'd lean towards it being either the CP or Doubletree.

Not sure what your travel plans are/if you need to be in the SW burbs, but I'll note that some of the North burbs do have nice 4th of July celebrations and a couple of them have fireworks on the lakefront. There is a 3.5* for these dates in Northbrook for $49 and a 2.5* for $39. The Chicago Botanic Gardens (chicagobotanic.org) and Wagner Farm (a free, small, working farm in the middle of the burbs) are family-friendly sights in the North burbs area and the famed Ravinia Music Festival (ravinia.org) also has family-friendly concerts on some dates.

Thank you for your repaly.

We plan to drive to and visit Chicago. Current rates for downtown are too high so I am looking for chicago burbs, is Northbrook closer to downtown than SW burb? How long does it take to downtown? Can you please also ID the following two Northbrook hotels from Hotwire?

- 3.5* Fitness, pool,business center, high-speed internet, golf and tennis. Recommended in 85 % of Hotwire customer reviews (Is this pretty low rating in Hotwire?) - $48/night.

- 2.5* Smoke-free, breakfast, fitness, pool, restaurant, business center, high-speed internet, laundry. Recommended in 100 % of Hotwire customer reviews - $38/night.

The 3.5* is a possible match for the Hyatt Deerfield, while the 2.5* is a possible match for the Holiday Inn Express Deerfield.

I'd say below 70-75% on the HOTWIRE customer review is concerning. 80-85% is common.

If the 3.5* is the Hyatt, the Hyatt has gotten some mixed/negative reviews lately, but I stayed there the other day for $40 (via PRICELINE) and thought for $40 bucks it's a great value. The hotel is a business/convention property with "junior suite" (bedding area is separated by a shelving unit, not a door) style rooms. I didn't think the Hyatt was without a few minor concerns but - and experiences may vary by room/day - personally, for $40, I'd happily stay there again.

The Holiday Inn Express is just up the road a bit from the Hyatt. I haven't stayed there, but it looks like a nice/not too old HI Express from the outside.

There are nearby Metra stations, and the trip will be about 40-45 minutes. The train does not run as often on the weekends, but there are express trains during the morning and evening rush during the week. The train trip from Northbrook downtown is still a ways, but is moderately shorter than the trip out from Oakbrook to downtown. I believe the Hyatt offers a shuttle to the train nearby, but you'd have to call the hotel. Otherwise, it's about a 5 minute drive tops.

The Metra trains are very nice, with conductors, two levels and bench seats that can be flipped over so that four people can sit together.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Booked 2.5* Holiday Inn Express Deerfield, $37/night. We never stayed in any hotel below 3.5* from Hotwire before, hopefully it works out for us this time.

Thanks for the advise.
