Congrats on your success.

Great deal for this property right at the airport.

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

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks, one thing that comes to mind is that one of the ammenities Hotwire listed was an "airport shuttle". Not that it's a big deal, but I'm guessing this one doesn't have an airport shuttle...unless there's one that takes you to other terminals.

Interestingly, the main reason I booked through Hotwire instead of Priceline is that I needed something with a shuttle (or was located in the airport as the case may be). When one is bidding on Priceline and selects an airport location, can they be pretty comfortable that there will in fact be a shuttle or are they better off buying from Hotwire where a shuttle is specifically listed? My guess is that I could have saved about $10 by bidding on Priceline, but one will never know.

I'd guess the majority of ORD properties at higher star ratings do offer shuttle (to some degree if not 24 hr), but shuttle availability is more scattered at lower star ratings. In general, the only way to ensure a shuttle is via HOTWIRE with a listing that shows a shuttle amenity; using PRICELINE to get an airport hotel with a shuttle may be riskier depending on location and star rating.

Hope you enjoyed your stay.
