Consolidated "ORD Hotel" thread
Flying SAN-ORD-FRA on Saturday, 2/16, I hope, fingers crossed. We SAN folk just don't GET weather.
Backup plan is to reserve airport hotel for Sat night. Would prefer something with a shuttle, something around $100, something SPG, and most importantly, something with a flexible cancellation policy. Am seeing notes of must be over 21, ID required. Are these hotels as unpleasant as JFK airport hotels? I'm old enough to value comfort over cost - to a point.
Or should I just Priceline it, hope I don't need it and consider it part of the cost of the trip?

This a new hotel and at $89.00 plus tax (2/16) is quality at a good price. I stayed there last week and was very pleased. Shuttle to ORD takes about 15-20 minutes.

hmm, the Sheraton Gateway Suites is also $89 (prepaid Starpicks, $119 for cancelable BAR), plus 1000 bonus points with the "Work to Live" promo. It has a 24-hour shuttle and an indoor pool, and is just outside the airport grounds. It's my preferred SPG point run location.
Besides the Westin ORD, the other airport-area SPGs are a little more distant although I think they all provide shuttles. Those may have lower BAR rates, too.
ORD is surrounded by many offices, unlike JFK, and the hotels reflect that; they're the very definition of boring and corporate.

The Westin and Hyatt are nice as is the Marriott. However, I am not sure that it is worth the shuttle ride in that the Airport Hilton is SO convienient and has a couple of nice restaurants. It I was to go off site, I would probably pick the Marriott because the food is good, service is solid and facility is well run. Westin and Hyatt are a bit large and convention focused for my tastes, but good as well.

There are several Marriott/Renaissance properties in the area. The best is the Ren in Schaumberg, but it's a bit too far to have an airport shuttle. The other Ren is a Ren Suites, which provides extra space in a standard room.
