Priceline Hotel: 2* Chicago North Shore (Libertyville-Mundelein) Candlewood Suites

[SinatraFan]

First tried $43 for a 3 star in Libertyville. Then went to 2.5 stars for the same price. Finally dropped to 2 stars and lowered the bid by a buck and hit Candlewood Suites. The two star level for this area was rated "best deal" so I was almost positive it would be Candlewood. I bet I can get it even cheaper next time, but I've stayed before at this same hotel for rack rate ($89) and was more than happy, so $42 sounds good to me!

Used the BB PRICELINE link as well.

I believe this not just a new hotel for your list, but a new area: Libertyville - Mundelein in Illinois.

Can't say I noticed whether this area existed before, but everything is so spread out that it's hard to see how this could have been part of another area earlier. You'll only find wheat fields and some light industry around - hardly even a restaurant in sight.
