adev26 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Looking to stay in Chicago Wed, Sept 20 - Sun, Sept 24. Have not used Hotwire before, so wanted to get your opinion on what hotels you think these might be: MAGNIFICENT MILE - WATER TOWER 3 1/2 Stars $123 USD/night Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access RIVER NORTH 4 Stars $138 USD/night Free Internet Pet friendly Boutique hotel Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Spa services Accessible for visually impaired Accessible for hearing impaired Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Wheelchair accessible Accessible bathroom Accessible parking Roll-in shower RIVER NORTH 4 1/2 Stars $139 USD/night Pet friendly Boutique hotel Indoor pool(s) Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Internet access Spa services ALSO, would anyone recommend waiting to find a cheaper price in one of these two neighborhoods? Noticed someone on this board go at room for $92/night, but my weekend might just be more expensive. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Welcome to Betterbidding. Rates can vary significantly from day-to-day so the $92 is not comparable unless same dates, unfortunately. The Fall in Chicago is not cheap and while there is the possibility that rates may come down a little closer to your stay, there is also the definite possibility that they could also go higher and/or appealing potential hotels may be replaced by less appealing potential hotels. I'm seeing: 4* HOTWIRE River North for $138.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Guess would be the Dana, which has been seen with this amenity set previously. A 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating is also showing on the detail page. 4.5* HOTWIRE River North for $139.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Spa ==> I'm going to guess this might be the Kimpton Palomar, which has been seen with this set previously. 3.5* HOTWIRE Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $123.00 Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet ==> I'm going to guess the Doubletree Mag Mile. While a nice hotel, the other 2 above would be better options - - especially the 4.5* - for not much more. Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Additionally, I'd be happy to answer any city questions. 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.

adev26 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thank you for the help! We ended up choosing the $138/night in River North from the first post - and it was the Dana. Good job :) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Congrats on your success. Great deal and I think solid choice - well-reviewed property in a terrific River North location.
