NEWJACK

just got the the radisson uptown for $43 a night for 4 nights 6/10 thru 6/14, stayed there last year for $44 a night, sweet deal. Got it thru using the PRICELINE link. :)

After much thinking and a couple of unsuccessful bids on some 4 stars I used the ling and got the ambassador east thru the Orbitz link. Used a code for an additional $75 off total cost , total was $284. Reviews seem good, nice location, hoping the wife will like it, looks like some old skool charm. Thanks to all for your help and advice, looking forward to my 1st visit to the Windy City. :) newjack

thinking of pulling the trigger on the amalfi on Orbitz can be had for $350 for 4 night with a discount, what do you think ?

2 listings on this date for HOTWIRE 4.5 * Mag Mile/Steeterville ..amenities fitness, rest.,business center high speed internet, customer favorite, low price guarantee, best value next listing is 4 * NMA, gold coast , water tower...amenities are the same as the 4.5 star any ideas... ready to secure my hotel , seeing has i've had to pay in increments for this anniversay weekend, price at the talbott went to stepp, but would like a room with some space, even a free breakfast would be great but know i won't get it at this star level, once again thanks to all for suggestions..... NewJack

Ok so final question ? the Talbott , Intercontinental , or the Amalfi ? of these 3 which would get your vote ?

final question .... intercontinental or the talbott ? what would you recommend ? thanks again for all the help NewJack

Thanks again for the help, so I'd be better off targeting the N MI. Ave are for a hotel if I use priceline. Do you thinK anything I get between $75 and $100 would be worth it. Already have tickets to shows on the 27th and the 29th, looking at filling up the 28th actual anniv. date, any suggestions for things to do this day/eve in Chicago. Once again, thanks for all the info...... NewJack

What recommendations do you have then for a 4 star close to the Ford and chicago Theatre for my stay ? Thinkg still to keep the budget around $100 a night , less would be better. As always thanks in advance... New Jack :)

Thanks for all the replies. What i've had in mind is catching a train from KC on friday and getting into Union Station Chicago. We've got tickets to My Morning Jacket at the chicago theatre on Sat night, sun our anniv, I was thinking Wicked at the Ford Theatre or one of the Steppenwolf theatre's show, then Monday going to wicked if we didn't make it on Sun. Probally want to keep it $100 or under for a room for 4 nights. I see someone was successful witht he Hyatt for $59, but not sure if this would be ok, price seems right...any opinions out there..How about Hard Rock, Hotel Sax, anyother recoomendations.... Guess I'm looking for something romantic, but that will allows us to enjoy, some of th eother things we'd like do during the weekend...If any one has any suggestions on other activites, I'm oplen to suggestions.... Newjack :)

looking for a suggestion for a 3.5 to 4 star in the loop/theater district of chicago for 12/26 thru 12/30 . does anyone have any suggestions for hotels and bidding strategy. This will be the wife's and mine 17th anniv, looking forward to a romantic weekend getaway. Thanks in Advance..... NewJack :)
