MissChele Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 I need something in the Oak Brook area June 11-15. Would like to stay under $75 (closer to $50). Lisle and Elmhurst would probably work if needed. Hotwire or Priceline (and Entertainment Book) acceptable. Many Thanks!!!MissChele/KY
thereuare Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 Exactly which zones (list them all) are you willing to include in your bidding? Is price most important or would you prefer to pay more for your first zone choice?Let us know and we'll then be able to suggest an appropriate strategy.

MissChele Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Posted May 24, 2006 OK. 1st choice Oak Brook-Downer's Grove, 2nd Lisle-Warrenville or Elmhurst. We would really like to stay as close to $50 as possible, so really, all those locations are good. Nothing lower that 2 1/2*. This is for the VP of the small company I work for, so help me find something good!!! :) MissChele/KY
thereuare Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 Rates are a bit higher then when we see the really low bids accepted (typically weekend dates) but since you have some time i would begin as follows:You have one re-bid zone available at the 2.5* level.

MissChele Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 Sorry it took so long to bid. They thought they were ready but plans changed a bit. Got a Homewood Suites for $35 in Oak Brook June 12- 14 on the first try! Five minutes from the Mariott where the meetings are!! Unfortunately, they did not go through Savings Barn, so I will make a donation...MissChele/KY
thereuare Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks for the donation... Can you confirm the star rating for this property and that it is indeed a Homewood suites and not a Homestead Suites?The only Homewood Suites on the Hiton site is in Schaumburg.Thanks.

MissChele Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Posted August 10, 2006 I know. Bad girl. I forgot to do the follow up to this.This is a Homestead in Lombard/Oakbrook.2* on Priceline, but was not a good experience for our VP that stayed there. Room was not completely cleaned and staff was minimally helpful.MissChele/KY
