RE: Halien Party - Chicago, Labor Day weekend, 8-31-13

Surprised your airfare is $488. Are there not many competing airlines where you're at? I don't live in, or close enough to, a hub city. There are 4 main airlines here.
Yeah, it does seem the FairBridge Hotel isn't taking online reservations. I tried a few random dates and got nothing on the usual booking sites. On the FairBridgeInns website it show the hotel as offline. Strange. Also, TripAdvisor reviews late last year make it sound like the hotel was having issues (there are no reviews for this year).

It would be good if we could maybe try to all stay at the same place - I'll go with what ever everyone else decides. Considering I won't be sharing my room, good value works well for me!!

(See, now I have the bug under my skin.)
I get the same way. If I'm not too busy at work tomorrow I'll call around to a few places and get prices and availability.

All the motels I mentioned are either in Wheeling or an adjoining village. The main event is in Buffalo Grove which is about a mile and a half from my house in Wheeling.
It does look like the Fairbridge is out of business so the Super 8 in Prospect Heights (5 minutes away) is the next best choice if you're looking for inexpensive. If you can afford it the Westin is the closest to all the action with 3 good restaurants onsite.

Yes I should have mentioned Hawthorn Suites. My sisters stayed there while visiting for Christmas. It is a suite with separate bedroom, kitchen, living area (with hide-a-bed) and I think they paid about $90 a nite but I see some $78 figures also. They allow pets too. Ohare airport is just a short drive/cab-ride up the tri-state tollway to Lake Cook Road (usually 20 minutes).
