AaronJB Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)My guess would be the Doubletree North Shore or Holiday Inn Skokie. The Doubletree is fine (although it could use a renovation), the Holiday Inn isn't a hotel I'd recommend. The Doubletree also has a better location.Personally, in terms of Evanston/Skokie, I'd try bidding on PRICELINE for the 3.5* level in this zone in an attempt to get the Orrington in Evanston (which is the only "known" 3.5* in this zone on PRICELINE.)If you don't need to be in this particular area, I like the 'burbs further North (Northbrook/Deerfield), and the 3.5* properties on PRICELINE in the Deerfield zone are all hotels I've enjoyed. Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
AAG Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply!It looks like it is more likely to be Holiday Inn since Doubletree is booked for that day according to their website.I checked the website for Orrington in Evanston - and they don't have a free parking (i will be driving)...I guess I will have to read some reviews and make a decision if I want to take a chance Holiday Inn.Thanks!
AaronJB Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 Please let us know what you decide and if you have any questions. Definitely let us know if you are interested in using PRICELINE for other nearby zones, as well, as the zones further North do have quite a few nice hotel options, free parking and are relatively close to transportation (Metra stations.)Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
