Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Chicago (Downtown Chicago - River North) AC Hotel Chicago Downtown

[MMcC508]

Thank you in advance for your help!  First time traveling to Chicago w/ (2) kids (Ages 5 & 8).  We'd like an indoor pool if possible.  Budget is $150 or less which takes out a few options higher rated options.  Using Hotwire with 2A & 2K vs Priceline's unknown room type.

 

I found a 3.5* River North for $125 with the following amenities and my guess is either AC Hotel or Holiday Inn Mart Plaza.  We'd prefer to be closer to Michigan Ave than the Holiday Inn so I am resistant to book this option.  FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access.  I also see this - Book soon! The last person got the Holiday Inn Chicago-Mart Plaza, IL.

There is an option for free breakfast with the same 3.5* that is $152.  The other hotels listed - Springhill & Residence offer free breakfast, while the Holiday Inn & AC Hotel is a surcharge.  Does that offer any insight as to which hotel the $125 could be?  If so, maybe I am better off going the $152, getting the breakfast and something other than Holiday Inn.

 

I also find a 3.5* Mag. Mile-Water Tower for $92 that notes Pool(s), but not "Indoor".  I am assuming that is accurate and we obviously won't be swimming outdoors in March in Chicago?

FULL AMENITIES: Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access

 

Sorry so long, been looking at options too long and decided it was time for help.

Thanks Again!
