Mr A J

I did it, in HOTWIRE...  Yo were both correct, it was the W Lakeshore, Chicago...

So it was $130 per room per night for 2 adults and 3 children from Jul/22 to Jul/26

Amenities:

Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Children's activities

Thanks for all your help!!!  I'm happy with my hotel!!!

Is it to soon to make a reservation via hotwire or priceline express right now for summer in Chicago?  Do you think is a good deal $132 for a 4.5* hotel in the Magnificent Mile area?  Or should I wait and maybe get a better deal?

I'll appreciate your expertise and honesty!!!

Thanks.  Just wanted to know, you both guessed W - Lakeshore, which it's fine, but on your hotel list this hotel comes as a 4* hotel, not 4.5*...  Is there a real difference between a 4* and a 4.5* hotel?

Thanks.

Thanks again Aaron...

Mmmhhh, 1 bed on both rooms would be a problem.  What about connecting rooms, will the hotel grant me this if I ask for them after making the reservation on PRICELINE?

On hotwire there's the same deal but the price a little bit higher at $132...  Should I expect the same hotel on both sites?  If 1 bed is a problem, will you recommend better using Hotwire in my case?

Knowing these last things, I'll make my decision and close this topic with my results...  Thanks a lot Aaron!!!

Thanks Aaron...

I'm looking for a hotel in the Magnificent Mile area and will love to spend between $85 to $115 per room per night...  The more stars the better...  I don't know if this is a realistic option for a 4.5* hotel in this area...  What caught my attention is that on priceline express deals and hotwire on those dates, the 4.5* hotels are cheaper than the one with less *...  Should I look at this as a sign of a great deal?

Please let me know if the $90 to $115 budget is a realistic one for those dates in summer and in this area...

I'm going with my family, wife and 3 daughters this summer to Chicago.  We'll be there from Jul/22 thru Jul/26.  I'm going to book 2 rooms.  I see there's a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for a 4.5 star hotel in the magnificent mile area for $130 per night, which chains do you think I can get with this deal?

Also, if I name my own price, can I lower the price per night from the express deal?

Thanks!!!
