This is a newly-renovated, "all-suites", 253-room Wyndham Hotel located in the upscale north Chicago suburb of Glenview, not far from O'Hare International Airport, or any other area of Greater Chicago you may wish to visit.
I brought this post back up to the front page after locating another website which seems to have lower rates. The room descriptions may be a little tricky to match only because the competitor site has the word "Deluxe" in there. Whether that makes a difference has yet to be seen. I've been told that this is Wyndham's most standard room. But there's no risk - you can book the "Best Available" rate on this one.
