Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Chicago Suburbs (Oakbrook-Downers Grove) Courtyard Oakbrook

[Matthew]

Hi all,

Quite difficult achieving this bid given the busy Memorial Day weekend, but alas I got it.

First started at $31 for 4* Oakbrook, increased every $2 until $51 [last few times only increased a dollar]...

Then changed to 3*, again starting at $31 and Oakbrook, and increased every $2 up to $45...

Continued to 2.5* $31-41 in $5 increments...

Then added Elmhurst $31 to try more 2.5* bids and maybe get a win, if not try again tomorrow with a higher price...

Last bid of $46 was a taker! Not even in the Elmhurst area too. Probably should have tried something smaller between 42-45, but oh well.

Regular rate of $94, so estimated savings after taxes/fees of $205.68.

Hoping to get 2 queen rooms, but haven't called yet. I won't be staying at the hotel to follow-up with a review, however I'm sure as all Courtyards I've stayed at it will be nice. One disappointment I see already is no continental breakfast.
