lobbybee Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 Please help me ID this hotel. It's the only 3* that currently comes up on Hotwire for this zone.3* Chicago (Vernon Hills-Lincolnshire-Mundelein)$99 ... 7/2/13-7/6/13Customer Reviews: 90%Free Parking, Pet friendly, Indoor pool(s), Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Business Center, Laundry Facilities, High-Speed Internet AccessThanks.
AaronJB Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 A quick question:Do you need to be right in this area? HOTWIRE has a 3.5* in the Northbrook area (which isn't terribly far from Vernon Hills/Lincolnshire although to what degree depends on where in the Northbrook zone) for $55 (you may see a slightly different rate) for these date/s.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
lobbybee Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks for the Northbrook tip. That's a much better value. I chose the other zone thinking that might be the La Quinta North Shore, which is literally right next to where we plan to be.I might be better off staying in Northbrook/Glenview and renting a car if needed.
AaronJB Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 I'm seeing a 3.5* in the Northbrook zone for $53 (oddly, it appears cheaper if you search for 2 adults and 2 children instead of just 2a) w/:Free Parking Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but my guess is that may be a new amenity set for the Hilton Northbrook.When I search for 2 adults and 2 children, I'm seeing a different 3* in the Vernon Hills area for $106 w/:Free Parking Free Internet Pet friendly Suite Indoor pool(s) Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower ...this listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but my guess is that it may be a new amenity set for the Indigo.The 3* noted above has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but a guess - it may very well be something else - would be the Courtyard Lincolnshire.At the 3* level, another option would be the Holiday Inn Express Deerfield for $69.75 via Expedia. That hotel gets fantastic reviews.You could also try bidding; I think you could probably get a 4* in this area for less than the $99 HOTWIRE Vernon Hills 3*. Let us know your thoughts and let us know if you have any local questions - there's a lot of shopping and restaurants in this general area, as well as a few sites of interest (Chicago Botanic Gardens - despite the name in the 'burbs.)Thank you for using the board's Expedia, HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

AaronJB Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 Congrats on your success. :)Very nice win for this property and hope you are looking forward to your stay.Thank you for letting us know about this new HOTWIRE property so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List.It's a very straightforward trip to where the La Quinta is - you can take Milwaukee (which the CP is on) due North to Half Day Road and then Half Day a bit East. Let us know if you have any local (restaurants, shopping) questions, as well. Walker Brothers (http://www.yelp.com/biz/walker-bros-original-pancake-house-glenview) is not too far away as a breakfast option.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
