Priceline Hotel: 2* Chicago North Shore (Waukegan-Lake Bluff) Candlewood Suites

[tinaluis]

We'll be spending the weekend at Six Flags 7/25 - 7/26 and we wanted a hotel close by so we don't have to travel back and forth.

Tried 2.5* Gurnee (is this star level new for the area?) up to $40 with no luck, dropped down to 2* nothing. So we bid 2* $40 Waukegan area and got the Candlewood Suites for $52.07 including tax and service fees. Very pleased with this property as it includes a full kitchen which is great for our family. Only 1 queen bed, but we'll bring the air mattress and be fine! Used the PRICELINE link here.

Congratulations on your success and thank you for posting your win! :)

Glad you are pleased with the results - this looks like a very reasonable rate for right near 6 Flags.

Using the site's PRICELINE link is greatly appreciated.

Enjoy your stay.

As a follow-up to our recent stay, we checked in at about 11 pm only to be advised that the water was off due to a maintenance issue and would be off from 11pm to 3am. It didn't seem like a big deal as we were all ready for bed anyway. We awoke to the screeching noise of the fire alarm at 4am, 6am and 8am (it seems that the water repair somehow triggered the fire alarm?) and still didn't have water at 8am. The front desk assured us the water would be on at any moment at 4 am, so when it wasn't on by 8am I called Priceline. They called the hotel who said the water would be on "momentarily" but they would authorize a refund if we checked out immediately. So we did. I'd read online reviews of this place before our stay warning of water issues so I wasn't surprised but I was disappointed because we'd planned to do 6Flags again the next day but didn't because we had no place to brush our teeth or shower.

Sorry to hear of the water issue - wonder why the property has such water issues? - but glad that PRICELINE was able to help in some regard.

Hope you were still able to have some fun at 6 Flags.
