Cheers.
If you go all the way west to the Marriott Suites in the Downers Grove / Lombard area, then you need to add two more full-service hotels to the Hilton column -- the Embassy Suites in Lombard and the DoubleTree Suites in Downers Grove. They're both quite close to the Marriott Suites.

I'll be interested to see what branding The Drake Oak Brook Hotel gets when it finally reopens this year after being closed for five years. (It was the Wyndham Drake Hotel when it closed). It's being refurbished, apparently back to its 1961 glory. If they do a good job, it would make a perfect addition to The Autograph Collection by Marriott.
