Priceline Hotel: Need Hotel Close to the Gwen in Chicago Tomorrow Night

[NOLAJeff]

Greetings! My brothers and I are headed out to finally make our first trip to see the Cubbies! We are staying near O'Hare tonight and our friends are staying at the Gwen downtown. How can I find a deal somewhere close to the Gwen? We have a room currently booked at the Ohio House Motel, but I think we can find something better since they are charging $195 for the one night.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Few thoughts (although you didn't say what your target budget is, so i only want after trying to beat the $195/nite in terms of price and/or quality):

 

You can search our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com, putting in the address of The Gwen (521 N Rush St, Chicago, IL 60611) and seeing what is within a 1 mile radius.  Filter the results by using the price slider ($0-$195) and zoom in on the map to see the trade-offs between proximity, star rating, and price.  Just a quick search (confirm your dates on the landing page) i see the Inn of Chicago for $179/nite and the Courtyard Downtown/Magnificent Mile for $180/nite, both are within a few blocks of The Gwen... but you may find more options searching  further on your own.

 

Other thoughts (again, confirm all links on the landing pages):

Much nicer but about the same money as you back-up would be this 4.5* Mag Mile - Gold Coast hotel for $178/nite with:

Business Center
Restaurant
Free Internet
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
==> best guess here would be the Hyatt Mag Mile which gets great reviews and puts you about 4 blocks from The Gwen

 

I'm also seeing this 3.5* Magnificent Mile -Gold Coast for $151
Business Center
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

==> The Doubletree Chicago Magnificent Mile would be my guess here should you be looking for something a little cheaper than the 4.5* above (but for an extra $10-$15 each i would be inclined to go with the better reviewed Hyatt Mag Mile, imo)
