We've been able to put 10 rooms (at group rate) on reserve at the Chicago Marriott O'Hare Airport Hotel for $99 a night (15.4% taxes unfortunately not included in base price). They are standard Marriott rooms and not suites.
The hotel has a shuttle to the aiport (I believe every 15 minutes) and there is a walkway to a bridge that leads directly to the nearest EL train station (approx 2 min walk) which means it's in a perfect location for us!! No rental cars will be needed. YAY!
ALL of the rooms are now non-smoking...Hotel parking is extremely expensive (like airport parking expensive!) so don't even think about getting a car, lets just take the train everywhere!
As far as amenities go, there is an indoor/outdoor pool, jacuzzi, on-site fitness area, a sports bar, and 2 restuarants (one open for all 3 meals, one open only for dinner). We may use either the pool area or the sports bar area to hold our meet & greet function....it depends on if Marriott is going to have a freak party on us if we do that as we're not paying for the "space".
All of the information about this hotel can be found here
To book your room, call (800) 228-9290 or (773) 693-4444 and tell them your with the NETWORKJC group coming in on June 8, 2007. They will require the first nights room cost on a major credit card.
the cut-off date to reserve your room is May 18, 2007. Anything not claimed after that will be given back to the hotel and charged at the regular rate.
I do believe you can cancel up to 48 hours prior to arriving if needed.
Doug is still not guaranteed for this weekends event...We may need some other pilots from the area to head this up for him if he cannot make it. I should be able to make it...
Any questions, let me know.:nana2:
