Welcome to BetterBidding!

I'm not currently seeing this property when searching HOTWIRE for your dates, are you still seeing this on your own search? If so, are you searching for more than one room or something other than the default 2adults/0children?

If you are still seeing this property, can you confirm if there are any additional amenities associated with it, as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

You can do the following to ensure you're seeing the complete list:

1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com and click the green 'See All Amenities' button

OR

2) search HOTWIRE (or use the HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com) and...

• click the offer
• on the next page click the BOOK NOW link
• in the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Thanks.

I searched for two room and its 119USD/149CAD ( I check the cdn site earlier) HOT WIRE EASY VIEW

 

The following are the amenties,

 

FULL AMENITIES: Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

 

would you recommend any other hotels on priceline or hotwire. We are looking at hotels that are walking distance to most  of the attraction

Please post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to future currency fluctuations.

Best guess for this property would be the Warwick Allerton Hotel Chicago.

AaronJB knows this area best and will know fairly quickly from looking at the offers if there is anything better than the offer above, so i'd wait for his comments.

The Allerton has a terrific location and reviews have improved since it became a Warwick, but know that it is an older property and the basic rooms (which are likely what you will end up with) are small or quite small.

 

What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?

my max budget would be $140USD

Today I'm seeing rates down slightly. What appears to be the Allerton is showing for me at $112, while what appears to be the Public is showing at $135 - you may see slightly different prices. The Public is a very nice boutique, but is somewhat less conveniently located in the Gold Coast area, which is at the tip top of the zone.

 

Just above your budget, I'm seeing what appears to be the Hyatt Mag Mile (on St Clair) for $147 and the Wyndham Grand Riverfront.

 

My thought is this: if you are okay with the Allerton, I'd suggest instead considering bidding in an attempt to see if you could get a 4* in the River North-NMA area on Price.line for $90-105. Worst case scenario you are able to get the Allerton for less, best case you get something else.

 

Let us know your thoughts on the above and we would be happy to offer further suggestions.
