bloomautomatic Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Did this one at the last minute after getting rejected on the Priceline NYOP for Northbrook and Deerfield areas. Got the Holiday Inn Mt. Prospect. A little further from Northbrook than I would have liked, but the price was right. Will try to remember to post some info on the hotel after the stay. Looks like an older property.Vince Link to comment

lindabobhat Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 OP, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised. I live nearby and you are correct that it's an older property, but it was in the renovation process for a long time. They completely gutted the building. I would imagine the rooms are nice and new.

bloomautomatic Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 You are absolutely correct. The place looks like it's been totally renovated. Rooms are modern - flat screen TV's, nice furniture and decorations. The bar in the hotel was packed and hopping for a Tuesday night. There's another restaurant (Bogie's Ale House) within walking distance that had good food at reasonable prices. I think there was a wendy's or some fast food across the street and a shopping mall a block or 2 away. They are adding an indoor swimming pool to the place, but it looks like it may be a while before it's open. There was still signs of construction on the back side of the building (porta-johns, equipment, etc), but nothing that disturbed my visit.I'm going back to Chicago next week and I would stay there again.vince Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Glad to hear this went better than expected and you'd happy to return, which i my mind is always the sign of a good stay and value for the money.Thanks for the follow-up.
