I saw on TOBB that someone else had gotten this exact same price for 9/2 thru 9/5 and decided to give it a whirl for the shorter stay. Very happy with the price as we have been wanting to try this hotel for sometime now. And, yes, I remembered to link to PRICELINE thru Savings Barn.

By the way, I decided to add a night - Friday the 2nd. For anyone who's never tried this, you can attempt to add a night (up to 2 nights prior or 2 night after) for the same price as your initial bid. I succeeded, though it did cost me an extra $6 or so in fees. Not a big deal; I still got about half off the lowest rate of $89 on the Hyatt website. I'm really looking forward to checking out this hotel. We love the Hyatt Lodge in Oakbrook and were actually booked there directly for this weekend until I found out my husband has to work for several hours on Sunday and we needed to be in a location more convenient to his work. Also, given the price of gas lately these local hotel stays are an even better option than usual!
