Before taxes, the price was $102.

Thanks again.

Oh, and about how long of a trip from the hotel to O'Hare is it? Just so I can book my departing flight accordingly.

Cool, thanks again

Tried a 3* at $85 and was denied again. My impatience got the best of me and I wound up going to HOTWIRE and paying (after taxes) $120 or so for what wound up being the Ambassador East. What are your thoughts on that place? Also, how close is it to an El stop? Thanks again for all your help, Aaron. It's really been a huge help to me.

One more real quick question... does it make more sense to fly into Midway or O'Hare?

Those posts were made in 2003... are they still accurate? I can't tell if they've been updated or not, as the only date stamp is from 5 years ago.

Denied with an offer of $85. If I open it up to include 3* hotels, do you have any guesses as to which hotels I might receive?

Thanks!

I tried 80 but was denied; I'll try 85 tomorrow. Thanks again for your help, it's been very very helpful.

Not against it at all. In fact, I'm not picky at all in regards to the hotel.

You seem to be a Chicago resident... let me explain my situation to you and maybe you can help me even more than you already have. I'm flying up on a Thursday morning (into Midway). I intend to take the El to a hotel, drop off my suitcase, and then take the El to Wrigley to go to a Cubs game. The next afternoon, I'll be flying from O'Hare into Minneapolis to spend the weekend up there. I want the hotel to have a bar or be near a bar so I can have a few drinks that Thursday night. So, really, I'm not partial to any hotel so long as it's relatively inexpensive and of good quality. And within a few blocks of an El stop.

One more quick question... when you say the Hyatt, do you mean the Hyatt Regency? I'm trying to look it up on TripAdvisor.

Thanks!

I don't see it, no. Should I just bid on Priceline and hope to get it then?

Aaron, thanks a bunch for the help. I greatly appreciate it. Let me ask you this question, just out of curiosity... as for the Hotwire CQ Wacker one, how confident are you that that's what it is? Would you say 50/50, or more like 90/10? Thanks again.

Also, I just looked on Hotwire and didn't see a $99 hotel...

Looking for something under $100 for a stay in Chicago. Either out by O'Hare or somewhere Downtown near an El stop. Location isn't too important; quality of the hotel is. I hope this is the format that it's supposed to be. Any help?

Edited to add: After scanning this forum pretty quickly, I found Club Quarters on Wacker. That looks to be pretty ideal. Any tips to ensure that I get a good deal on that specific hotel for the above date? Thanks!
