thereuare Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature). If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 5 star hotel in this zone when searching for your dates: 5* HOTWIRE Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $239.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Spa Childrens Activities ==> i'm not 100% certain, but my guess for this one would be The Trump Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

AaronJB Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'll also guess the Trump in this case, but if you're not locked into the Trump, there are cheaper options within a reasonably easy walk (or ultra-short cab ride) as this zone really isn't that big. Let me know if you have any hotel (or city) questions.

mcbmd Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think this probably is the Trump, but I was going to get a better deal booking through the wedding party so I did not book it. Link to comment

AaronJB Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set and we would be happy to take a look. If you see: 4.5* Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $132.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Golf Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ==> My guess would be Westin Michigan Ave. Would this option be of interest? Personally, for about $25 more, I'd rather: 4.5* River North for $158.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Possible match for the James, which has been seen with this amenity set previously. If so, easy walk to the Trump. Please keep all posts for this stay within this thread - thanks.

AaronJB Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'll still guess for the 4.5* Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $132.00 ( Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Golf nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower) that the Westin Michigan Ave is likely. Would the potential James mentioned above for about $25 more be of any interest? I think that's a nicer hotel than the Westin Michigan Ave and would put you about 0.5Mi closer to the Trump.

mcbmd Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah, perhaps - looked at the james and it looks nice. Obviously nothing is certain when you play this game, but how confident are you that that 4* is the James. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 There is always the chance that things have changed since a hotel was last reported and something else may appear, but: HOTWIRE: 4.5* River North for $158.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> The James has been seen with this amenity set previously, so that would remain my best guess. With a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating, the underlying property gets excellent reviews.

mcbmd Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 OK, so I still haven't booked this trip. Buddy has been hounding me to stay at the Trump and I keep putting him off. Now seeing a 4* in the River North district for $112 per night. Thinking it may be the Hotel Chicago. Dates are 9/1-9/4 1 Room 2 Adults 4* River North Amenities on Hotwire: Boutique Business Center Fitness Center Internet Access Restaurants Smoke-Free Rooms Accessible for visually impaired Accessible path of travel In-room accesibility Amenities using bidding helper Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower Do you think it is the Hotel Chicago? If so that's only a block or two away from the Trump, right? Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 What is the wedding rate that you can get at the Trump? Is your buddy hounding you to stay at The Trump the groom or just another wedding guest? Are you in the wedding party? If you could save $100/nite and be nearby the Trump, is that something you would do... or have you not yet made up your mind if you would stay outside of the wedding hotel at any price? Lastly, your dates have changed since originally posted, are your dates still now confirmed and you're ready to book a hotel for this trip now or are your plans still up in the air?

mcbmd Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Haha. He is the groom and yes I am in the party. My dates are final though. Edit: Sorry forgot to answer your other questions. Wedding rate at the trump is $279 per night plus taxes and fees - I think it comes out to ~$310 per night total. So I am looking at ~$1000 total vs. $425 to stay at the hotel I referenced above (the hotel chicago?) Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 This offer: 4* HOTWIRE River North for $112.00 Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> matches previous reports in the Hotwire Hotel List for the Hotel Chicago Downtown, Autograph Collection so that would indeed be our best guess for this one Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

mcbmd Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Any thoughts on this property? I am down to this one, a 4.5* in the River North on HOTWIRE for $161/night (which I am pretty sure is the Kimpton Palomar), or just booking the Intercontinental for $179 per night. Or I guess a 4.5* at $165/night, which (I think) is the James. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 It used to be the House of Blues Hotel (the HOB is still next door.) Certainly nice location, easy walk to River North restaurants. In terms of getting to Trump if that's where you have to be, I'd just do a short-cut - if you walk across State st heading East, you should see the AMA Plaza. You should be able to just walk along the river over to Trump. If you are just looking for a nice place to sleep that's literally a couple of minutes walk from where you need to be, it's certainly a very good deal as rates go for these dates. I also do see what appears to be the Monaco (please confirm that the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the link below.) 4.5* Downtown Chicago - Millennium Park for $146 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>I'll guess this is the Monaco, which is a very nice hotel that's essentially on the opposite side of the river from the Trump.

mcbmd Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 OK, I finally did it. I actually booked the 4.5* Downtown Chicago - Millennium Park on PRICELINE EXPRESS for $145. 9/1-9/4. 1 Room 2 Adults. Amenities: Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant No Smoking Rooms/Facilities And indeed it was the Kimpton Hotel Monaco. Thanks to thereuare and aaronjb for assistance. Link to comment
