Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago Suburbs (Oakbrook-Downers Grove) Hyatt McDonalds Campus

[Cochese]

Originally bid $50 starting in Schaumburg (hoping to get Renaissance)....rejected

Re-bid adding other zones....rejected

Added Oakbrook thinking highest they had was 3*....accepted at $56.

Turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I loved the hotel. The remote setting was so calm and relaxing, just too bad the weather didn't allow for nature walks.

Any advice on where to find star ratings for particular areas (I used yahoo, but it obviously wasn't accurate)

Thanks a bunch....this forum is a tremendous help!

I take it you did not read this (from Priceline Re-Bidding Explained)

This list is NOT a complete list of all hotels that Priceline offers in this area, it is ONLY a compilation of hotels that have already been reported on this forum. Hotels are added/removed by Priceline all the time, and star ratings can change at ANY time. As well, the geographic boundaries of an area are subject to change, so it is always a good idea to look at the Priceline map before purchasing. DO NOT USE THIS LIST to determine what areas to add when attempting to bid again within the 24 hour window (CLICK HERE for information on how to add cities in order to bid again).

In light of the above, you MAY get a hotel that is NOT on this list, or get a hotel on this list but at a star level you didn't expect (if the star rating has changed).

Which is at the Top of every Priceline Hotel list :)

Also the Priceline map for the suburbs shows that Oakbrook has 4* (see attachment).

Glad it worked out for you though.

Thank you for reporting the win.

You certainly lucked out, as this is one of the best suburban hotel options overall.

blindman,

Thanks for the info. This was my first time at this, still working out the kinks.

Being in a time crunch didn't help either.

Thanks again
