Sorry for all of the q's. Do you see the Toronto Airport DoubleTree available? It's probably only a 3* but I heard pretty good things about it. thanks. Jamie

Sorry I meant to say any recommendations for Toronto Airport hotels 3.5* + (so including 4*, 4.5*) - basically somewhere pretty nice. thanks, Jamie

Thanks much. I was wondering if you had a good recommendation based on your experience for Toronto airport hotels for 3.5*? I was wondering if the Sheraton Toronto airport ever becomes available through Hotwire? It's attached to Terminal 3 where we're flying out very early so it would be a very handy location . Regards, Jamie

Oh yes it also says: - Tennis nearby; in addition to the other amenities listed. BTW also, it's showing at $69/night now. Thanks! Jamie

Hi there - you guys helped me get an awesome Hotwire deal recently at the Intercontinental in Chicago (we loved it and had an amazing time btw!) so I'm hoping you can help id this Toronto Airport hotel on HOTWIRE for me: Feb. 20th '10 - 1 night (looking for a group of 5 rooms) before flying out on a trip - 4 Star - $73 - Smoke Free - Airport Shuttle - Fitness Centre - Pool - Restaurant - Business Centre - High Speed Internet - Golf Nearby Thanks! Jamie

I just booked the 4.5* at $109/night for 11/13 - 11/16 as discussed below, and it is in fact the Intercontinental! Looking at current rates for other weekends leading up to this, it seems like a pretty good rate for this. I'm very happy - thanks for answering all of my questions, I really appreciate your service! As one last comment if you're able to comment on a good breakfast joint nearby and a good restaurant (casual dining but good food), it would be much appreciated. Cheers,

thanks again - that helps put things into perspective. It's always hard to gauge until you've been somewhere. In terms of larger cities we're most familiar with Toronto where the blocks are very spread out so walking distances can be quite long. So this is good info. to know - happy to hear cheers

Wow you know a lot about these hotels and all of your detail is really appreciated. I'll plan on booking soon as availability seems to come and go, and will post the result. thanks again!

sorry for all the questions. I just checked now and it looks like The James match isn't showing anymore. A 4.5 * now shows in Mag Mile - Streeterville for $109 with: Fitness; Dining; Business Centre; High Speed internet. do you think this is likely the Intercontinental; and if so it has a pool correct? and do you think it's a nicer property net net (location, everything) vs. the Embassy Suites?

Ok that's great feedback, thanks. I'll talk to my wife and think it over, and plan to book in the short-term; and post the results here. thanks!

Thanks for your further insight on the properties! Is the Embassy Suites you mention in a good area also? What do you think of these prices - do you feel they are good competitive prices? I was wondering if it made sense to wait for a while to book thinking perhaps the prices would go down further. On the other hand it's a nice feeling to get it booked right away especially if the prices are at a competitive level already. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks again! I read on comments on this site that the Whitehall isn't all that great so will probably pass on that one. Out of these hotels I'm considering The James - I see it's down to $124/night today for 11/13 - 11/16. The only thing is that ideally we wanted a pool and jacuzzi to relax in, so may wait a little to see if something else comes up with a pool.

Thanks for the info.! I look forward to further insight also from AaronJB also RE: opinions. RE: the 4 star - North Michigan Ave - Water Tower - Gold Coast you couldn't find; minor update, it shows "near golf" instead of spa. Sorry my mistake! It shows as $86/night. - Boutique hotel - Fitness Centre - Restaurant - Business Centre - High Speed Internet - Near golf -------- thanks again!

Hi there - I'm a new user, just registered. I'm looking for a Chicago hotel through Hotwire from 11/13 - 11/16 for my wife and I. It will be our 1st time to Chicago, will be flying from Toronto to go to a Blackhawks - Maple Leafs hockey game. Looking for something nice, close to shopping, restaurants, things to see. I would think at least 3.5/ to 4 star or 4.5 star. My wife is hoping for a hotel with a jacuzzi / hot tub (I'm assuming would be with pool) if possible, but probably wouldn't be a deal breaker if can't find. Budget isn't most important as I want it to be a nice place, but of course I do like to get a good deal:-) Looking at previous posts, I thought these 2 areas seemed to be most popular: Magnificant mile - Streeterville (1st choice I thought?); and North Michigan Ave - Water Tower - Gold Coast. Would you agree? Also do you think it's wise to book now, or wait a bit - generally do you see prices go down much as you get closer? Here sare some hotels that came up on my Hotwire search for 11/13 - 11/16 I was hoping you could give feedback on what you think it is; and your opinion if it's nice?: 4.5 star Magnificant Mile - Streeterville - $139 - Fitness Centre - Restaurant - Business Centre - Laundry - High Speed Internet - Spa ------- 4 star - Magnificant Mile - Streeterville - $119 (I believe this was $109 yesterday) - Boutique - Non-smoking - Fitness Room - Restaurant - Business Centre - High Speed Internet -------- 4 star - North Michigan Ave - Water Tower - Gold Coast - Boutique - Fitness Centre - Restaurant - Business Centre - High Speed Internet - Spa --------- 3.5 star - North Michigan Ave - Water Tower - Gold Coast - Boutique - Fitness - Restaurants - Business Centre - High Speed Internet - Golf nearby - Tennis nearby - Spa --------------- thanks very much!
