Priceline Hotel: 4.5 Star Hotel North Michigan Ave- River North Area Express Deal 4.28-5.1

[mikiwzh]

I have trouble identifying a 4.5 Star Hotel North Michigan Ave- River North Area Express Deal. The date is April 28 to May 1st. 

The amenities are: free internet, free park, swimming pool, pets allowed, fitness center, restaurant, business center.

I tried matching it with Priceline regular price hotels based on amenities, star and location, but no result.

Please start by following-up your previous Boston hotel thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip.

For the PRICELINE EXPRESS Chicago hotel above my guess would be the Intercontinental Chicago, although i suspect the 'Free Parking' is a mistake.

Thank you very much for your reply, I will use the site link to purchase the hotel. I just double-checked and figured out that intercontinental now offers free parking and free wifi in the lobby. If I applied the filter to search for hotels with these amenities, intercontinental will not be in the results. However, if I click the Priceline intercontinental hotel to see the detail, I can find the detailed description with these amenities. I guess it might be some sort of limited time offer.

4 Star Hotel North Michigan Ave- River North Area Express Deal 4.28-4.30

amenities: free internet, fitness center, restaurant, business center, guest rating 8+. My guess is Westin Michigan avenue, but I am not sure.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. Once you win a hotel, use the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the lower right corner of the page to edit the topic title to reflect your win and to provide the details of your purchase. This helps keep the board better organized by reducing the number of unresolved threads that don't have any follow-up or conclusion.

I notice you have reduced this stay by one nite from your original search, have you decided to reduce this stay by one nite, still deciding upon your departure dates, or are you thinking of SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID?

The amenities are common for a downtown hotel, but my guess for this 4* PRICELINE EXPRESS property would be The Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago.

I'd agree the 4.5*'s free parking amenity is likely a mistake - there are only a couple of hotels in the city that offer free parking and both are at the 3* level.

 

I do see a 4.5* on Hot.wire in the Mag Mile N-WT area w/Boutique, Restaurant, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet for $149.

--This would likely be the Ivy, which is a small boutique with only a few rooms per floor. The potential Intercontinental is a nice hotel with a neat history and a great location, but it's a huge hotel that does a lot of convention traffic. This is a well-reviewed, modern property with more boutique-style service that's only a few blocks away.

 

4.5* Loop w/Boutique, Restaurant, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Spa, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly for $150.

-- Likely the Wyndham Grand Riverfront.

 

You may see slightly different prices than I do when searching Hot.wire

Thank you for your guessing, and thank you for merging the topics. I was thinking about splitting the bid because the hotel selection on PRICELINE EXPRESS was very limited.

[mikiwzh]

Thank you for looking the hotels for me on HOT.WIRE. I am considering using HOT.WIRE because the hotel deal selections on Price.line was very limited.

[AaronJB]

Very happy to help. I'm quite familiar with the area - let me know more about what you are looking for and I'd be happy to offer further suggestions.

Hi, thank you all for the help. I have been watched the hotel deal for a long time and haven't spot a desired deal, so I booked a regular price hotel instead. I am here to close this post.

I booked a regular priced hotel rush (135/night) through the site PRICELINE link. Thanks!

[thereuare]

Thank you for the additional information.

[AaronJB]

The Hotel Rush is the former Four Points Sheraton with some updating. Admittedly I haven't seen the re-do, but I will say that I'm seeing a 4.5* in the Mag Mile N-WT area for $147 w/

 

Boutique, Restaurant, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet

-- This would likely be the Hotel Ivy, which is a well-reviewed, small (a few rooms per floor) boutique a couple blocks from the Hotel Rush. That would be a nice upgrade for a few bucks more.

 

Additionally, as noted on the hotel website for the Hotel Rush: "Hotel Rush is in the process of completing a full hotel renovation including all guest rooms and public areas of the hotel. In Spring 2015 the hotel will transition to a new brand, AC Hotels by Marriott following the full hotel renovation."

 

Not sure at what point the renovation process is in.

Thank you so much for providing the information about that 4.5* hotel. Unfortunately, I didn't see this reply before I checked in hotel rush, but thank you again for the help. I was staying at hotel rush for three nights. The renovation is almost completed. All the rooms have been upgraded, which is very nice. Only the exterior wall was under construction.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and that the renovation is nearly complete and didn't adversely effect your stay.

Thanks for the follow-up!
