I booked it as soon as this years ended and when I knew I would be going. however, even then months ago many of the hotels near there were already sold out

Same here.

I'm hoping to organize a work trip in July and tack on a day or 2 at the Lowes. .

I happened to check the NSCC website very early this morning (4:00 am Central) and booked a room at the connected Hyatt for $174 per night. So, there really were some available.

I booked the Hyatt in late July. My AAA rate is around $230 per night so the $174 rate is a good one. I was asleep at the switch this morning to try to get the convention rate.

I have Wednesday and Thursday night stays booked. If I decide to stay Friday night I will get an off-site room and likely head home on Saturday.

The Hilton Garden Inn about 2 miles up River Rd is $214-244/night from the 25th through the 30th. One king or two queen beds with Hilton Honors. You can enroll in Hilton Honors for free. They also have a free shuttle to the convention center. At the end of the day they will also come down and pick you up if you call.

If you don't mind staying west of the airport the Hilton properties in Elk Grove, Addison and Schaumberg are all less than $150/night. Don't forget that you can park at the CTA (subway) station about ½ mile north of the convention center. It is $7 for up to 14 hours and an easy walk.

I am skipping it this year. The last two weeks of June my wife and I are going to Paris and Vienna. The cheapest Hilton in the city of Paris is a little less than €500/night (hotel taxes are only about $2/person per day). It is a boutique hotel in the 8th arr. That is with me being a Hilton Gold soon to be diamond member. At least breakfast is free instead of the $22 each per they charge. Fortunately, only 3 days there until switching to a hotel closer to my event; the World Olympic Collector's Fair at the stadium in the 13th arr. which is about ¼ the price. Vienna Hiltons will be much cheaper, 1/3 to less than 1/2. I like the one on the Danube. Big rooms that face the river. Breakfast included that you can eat on their large patio right on the river. Walking distance to the subway line and the Futbol stadium.

I just received an e-mail from the NSCC.

I clicked on the Reservations link and there was a note that they have added hotel room inventory.

I just booked the Hyatt for Wednesday and Thursday night. King rate was $164, double rate was $174.

While making my double reservation, it said there were 3 left - so likely 2 left now.

I imagine they will keep adding inventory up to a certain point. Keep checking

Reservations through the NSCC are subject to a non-refundable $7.50 booking fee, however the reservation may be cancelled without penalty by 7 days in advance of arrival.
