Day use hotels near O'Hare (ORD) ?
Hello all:
I know that the Hilton ORD hotel offers day use rooms to accomodate flyers with a long layover.
With all the hotels near the airport, I was wondering if others offered the same type of service?
Many thanks!

Virtually all do - even if they don't publish a rate. This is one where calling the front desk (not 800 reservations line) is worth it. When they quote you a rate ask if it's really the best they can do. Remember, you can always call back & book. When these places are underbooked, you can find fire sale prices.

Didn't know that the ORD airports were so flexible/hungry.
Wonder if this is an unexploited niche for a monetized booking site.
Zipcar model for connecting passengers at international gateways.
Hmmm....@:-)

Have you ever booked a day use rooms? What was convenient or inconvenient about it?

Would you be interested in day use in urban areas as well, and not only nearby airports?

Wanted to give my two cents on trying to book a day use room. I knew that the Hilton offered rooms but I decided to gamble and see if I could get something cheaper on the day of. Called the Marriott ORD, Westin ORD and Hilton ORD.
Hilton ORD quoted me the published day rate of $99.
Marriott ORD said they don't do day room. I asked again and she said she could make me a reservation but I would have to check out at 11am or wait for till 2pm and check in. Trying to press the issue of a "day room" I made sure I was speaking to someone on-site and not central reservations, she said she "knew the rules" as she was the manager.
Westin quoted $89.
I figured it was worth $10 to not have to take a shuttle bus and showed up at the Hilton. Front desk agent said day rooms don't start till 9am and if I wanted a room now (6am) I would have to pay a $25 early check in fee.
At this point the Hilton was $35 more than the Westin and the Westin confirmed that they could check me in ASAP. It should be noted that the hotel shuttle bus pick up right outside the doors of the Hilton.
Westin ORD wins.

Thanks for the update!
Renaissance ORD Suites does day rate, but rate can vary. It's 50% off available rates. Obviously weekend rates are cheaper so the 50% off would be a lot less. Weekdays might be more than what Westin or Hilton offers; someone would need to check. With the Ren you can take the hotel shuttle or just hop on the Blue Line which is quick.
Cheers.
