Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (North Michigan Ave - River North) Warwick Allerton Hotel Chicago

[GOMUPACK]

Began bidding at $70, increasing by $5 increments.  Won hotel at $90.

 

I saw a 4-star Priceline Express Deal for $100 and judging by amenities it was the Allerton.  So I sort of knew this was the hotel and the price.

 

Having read reviews on TripAdvisor, some rooms can be VERY small (think: cruise ship).  This is understandable as the hotel was built in 1920.  However my confirmation says:  "Room Assigned upon check-in" - so here's hoping that the person at the front desk is in a good mood!!!  I feel when booking through Priceline I'm a "beggar who can't be a chooser...."

Congrats on your success. :)

Not a bad deal for this hotel, whose reviews have improved in the last year or two after Warwick took it over. Rooms may be small, but the location can't be beat. 

 

If you do want to try to ask regarding room assignment, I'd call/write the hotel. One thought is to ask for a room facing Michigan Ave on a higher floor - natural light and a view may help if the room is small and if you go higher that should result in street noise not being an issue.

 

Let me know if you have any city questions.

Thanks for the pointers.  I will probably call first, but upon check-in I will mention that my friend had his wedding there last year, and that we had such a wonderful experience!  Then I'll ask for a bit larger room!  (It's a Sunday night so hopefully they will have something available)   ;)
