$159 Desperately hoping to do better than this ... it's way outta my budget BUT I gotta spend the day with my son and we need this hotel for the OVEN in the room to cook da turkey!
Thanks for any help you can give!
Unfortunately,
the Residence Inn in Waukegan is now sold out for Wednesday Nov 26. Since you can't book it on Marriott.com any more, no way will you be able to get an LNF for it either.
If it's a Residence Inn you need, there's another one about 10 miles away,
Residence Inn Chicago Lake Forest/Mettawa, with normal (without needing an LNF) rates around $109, and it's cat 3, so you can use your cert there. (Or, since it's cat 3, it's only 15k points, if you prefer to use points for the other night.)
If Mettawa is too far away, and you need a room with an oven, then I don't think the Marriott program will help you. The Candlewood Suites in Waukegan will also have an oven (though no breakfast and not as nice a room as at a Residence Inn), and it seems to be below $80, but that's in the IHG Club program.
