Thanks for that information. I realized that I don't think that 3.5 star could be the Hotel 71, because on Hotwire it says the hotel's TripAdvisor rating is 3.5 based on over 340 reviews. But Hotel 71 has a 4 star rating based on 51 reviews on TripAdvisor. Based on that, I'm guessing the hotel is actually the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers (3.5 stars and 341 reviews on TripAdvisor), which is further away than we want to be. Do you think I'm right about this?

Since we want one bed in each room as opposed to two double beds, I realized we probably shouldn't run the search with kids. So unfortunately the Suites properties don't seem to be an option for us for this trip. We are on the verge of going with Hotel 71 because location is very important to us (proximity to various festival events within walking distance) and it's the best location. It seems to have a lot of recent positive reviews on TripAdvisor, so I'm wondering why you don't recommend it. Is there something negative I should be aware of before we book it? Thanks again.

Wow. Thanks for such a detailed reply. Any logic you're aware of behind the different results for 2 adults/2 children? We are actually 5 adults (2 couples, 1 single person) looking for 3 rooms, but I did the search as 6 adults/3 rooms. But of course if we get better options pretending we have children for the sake of the booking we can do that too. And for the 3.5 star result you got when you searched for 2 adults/2 kids, could you confirm that ES stand for Embassy Suites? Thanks again. I'm going to send these options on to my colleagues and I will post here once we've booked. You've made this much easier!

Thank you so much for providing that link! I didn't know about that section of your site. It was extremely helpful. This is what I found from going through it. Please tell me if you think my detective work is correct (and I couldn't find anything for the 3.5 stars hotel). Your site is so great - thanks again.

We haven't made a decision about Mexico yet because I'm waiting for confirmation from the bride that our plans for accommodations will work for her. But as soon as we've booked a Puerto Vallarta hotel (or have more questions, if the options change by the time she gets back to me) I will make sure to post about it on that thread. Thanks again for your help.

Hi there. I ran a search on Hotwire for three rooms for a two night stay in Chicago, checking in Friday 6/19 and checking out Sunday 6/21. There were a lot of seemingly good results. I apologize for including so many below. We're going to a film festival and the festival's hotel base is the Hotel Sax, so we'd love to stay there or somewhere nearby. Do you think any of the below are the Hotel Sax? Can you help to identify any of them? Thanks very much for your help. 4 1/2 stars in Magnificent Mile/Streeterville $116 prpn Amenities include: Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access 4 stars in Magnificent Mile/Streeterville $104 prpn Amenities include: Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access Spa Services 3 1/2 stars in Magnificent Mile/Streeterville $89 prpn Amenities include: Boutique Hotel Fitness Center Business Center High-speed Internet Access 3 stars in Magnificent Mile/Streeterville $105 prpn Amenities include: Fitness Center Business Center High-speed Internet Access And one in the Chicago Loop: 4 stars in Chicago Loop $104 prpn Amenities include: Boutique Hotel Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access
