As of now, I have a booking at LondonHouse. The WA is over $300 (50%+) more for a single night in a similar room, so that is out of the question. Any other recommendations? I'm not tied to downtown at all, but the LondonHouse reviews have swayed me. I just don't want the area to be dead on a Saturday afternoon. Debating the Marriott option of The Robey to get farther north and a little more bustling on the weekend.
EDIT: Flying into ORD and planning either to take a Lyft or the train to the hotel, if that makes a difference.
I apologize for being somewhat geographically challenged.....I also take Uber/Lyft and usually arrive and depart from Union Station on Canal so I'm not familiar with O'Hare and the different neighborhoods.
Are you just staying 1 night and leaving Sunday morning?
I've always liked THE DRAKE or THE PALMER HOUSE, and I think both may be a little cheaper than LondonHouse if that makes a difference.
Do you have the Amex Platinum and the ability to use FHR/The Hotel Collection?
Check those rates too. It looked like some were cheaper than booking direct, Good Luck.
