Dear Guests,

The Holiday Inn in Skokie has advised us that the previous block is now full. Therefore, we have arranged another block with other sister hotel, Holiday Inn O'Hare Area. The new BLOCK NUMBER is TDA. CALL the hotel at 773-693-5800 and make sure to mention the group code (TDA) to get the discounted price. The Hotel will honor the previous rate ($74.00) for a double bed room.
