2 adults and 2 kids. But, I decided not to pursue. I have platinum status on IHG. Not a great points program, I know. But, I did book mart plaza Holiday Inn Express for 99 per night including parking. And I will likely get upgrade to a really great city view. Parking is easily 30 per night (more like 42). So the room is about 50-60 per night. Not a five star, I am aware but $354 out the door for 3 nights with parking is hard to beat. I was curious to go for a 4.5 or 5 star. But those are 71 per night plus parking for not knowing where you end up. I didnt want Intercontinental because the pool is a lap pool; very beautiful but not great for fun. So IHG hotel it is. I will sound like a ihg slappy. But this is an underrated hotel with great views of the city. Great views. Self park so you save on tipping. Pool is decent too, I think. I will see what the kiddos think and post their feedback next week.

Been looking at a nice family Chicago trip after Christmas. Its a great time to go there for us. Easy drive from Michigan. Uber around the city if it is too cold. Hoping to land a 5 star hotel with indoor pool at a great price. Currently, Hotwire has this: 100% Recommended Free internet Amenities Business center Fitness center Indoor pool(s)Pet friendly Pool(s)Restaurant(s)Smoke-free rooms 417 reviews on hotwire. 5 of 5 Tripadvisor I see there are only a few 5 starts on the hotel listings in the mag mile area. Any ideas which this one is? Kids really want a pool and I want to make sure this one has a nice one. Thanks.

Just booked the following for 1 night on July 1st. 2 adults, 2 kids. 85% recommended, 4.5 on Tripadvisor (501-1000 reviews) and 4 star with the following Amenities Airport shuttle Business center Fitness center Internet access Pool(s) Restaurant(s) The booking went thru to Renaissance for a out the door price of 94.72. We fly in late and will be at this hotel for maybe 8 hours total. Just wanted a shuttle service and hopefully uber in the morning to Royal Pacific in the morning. I booked RPR directly, FYI. MSUKC

Thanks for the feedback. Two nights for 500 per night, while expensive, provides three days of express passes at Royal pacific. And room is club level so we can probably have a meal a day and save some money and add some convenience. Can walk to the park too. I am going to stick with direct reservations. So you can close this one out. Until my next BBpost... Thanks again.

2 adults 2 kids; 6 and 10. Not sure of a max budget. But I have already reserved royal pacific resort club level for about $500 per night. 7/2 and 7/3 nights only. Check in 7/2 and checkout 7/4. If I can get a much better price, I can cancel the reservation. I know it will be busy that weekend and wanted to make sure I at least have an on site hotel with express pass booked. Thx.

You can close this one. I would like to open again to see if I can get a response to these. I think this one appears complicated....or something. Thanks!

Thanks for combining the two. Anyone have any feedback on these selections?

Trying to get on site Universal deal for express passes. I see these 4* hotels. Any idea on each of these hotels? I suspect one is the hard rock or royal pacific.... 4* Universal Orlando - I-drive North 7/1-4 $150 per night FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services $317 per night FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Resort, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Children's activities, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

I used the BiddingHelper.com. 2 adults 2 kids (6 and 10). This is what I got when narrowed to 4* and Universal Area. Is this an onsite Universal? If it is and I book, I believe I can add 2 kids to reservation? 4* Orlando July 1st to 4th (Priceline express) Thanks. Universal Orlando Resort Area - Intl. Drive North Rated 8.0 out of 10 (or higher) Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center Save 22% or more* $ 78 per night

Thanks for all the info. My friend came thru and we got a pretty decent deal, club level and a nice hotel on Mag mile using her discount. Nice to have connections. and betterbidding as a resource.

I agree on Navy Pier. Its a summer time thing and rather cheesy. Pool is kinda a must. That is the drawback downtown chicago, pools are plentiful. I have a friend that works at a nice hotel which I wont name. She is working on getting us a club level room and the hotel has a good pool for kids. If that falls thru, then W Lakeshore or Holiday inn may be in play.

4.5

Option 2 is boutique. Forgot the price $70 (vs normal 110) per night. Probably W Lakeshore. Interesting hotel. Strange location. Anyone with thoughts for a family weekend at this hotel (10 and 6 year olds)?

OK. Here are my options now. Dates 12/27-12/30. 2 adults, 2 kids. First option 53%off Magnificent Mile Area - River North area hotelShow 85% recommended - 3.5 Star $62 per night (vs normal $131) Complimentary Free Internet Amenities Business center Fitness center Indoor pool(s) Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Accessibility Accessible for visually impaired Similar to: Crown plaza, double tree, Hyatt and Hilton Second Option 36%offMagnificent Mile North - Water Tower area hotelShow 80% recommended - 4.5 star Amenities Boutique hotel Business center Fitness center Indoor pool(s) Internet access Pet friendly Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Similar to Sofitel, Luxury Collection, Intercontinental, and Le Meriden Any idea what each of these are?

Thanks. I now am looking 12/27 thru 12/30. I will repost this new listing. We have stayed at both hotels interncontinental and sheraton grand. sheraton def better for kid swimming. i agree IC pool is cool but old and not kid friend. more for a workout.

I am looking at booking this hotel and I think its intercontinental or sheraton; hoping its the Sheraton because the pool is better for kids. 2 adults and 2 kids (6 and 10) Business center Fitness center Indoor pool(s) Internet access Pet friendly Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Smoke-free rooms Similar to these: Omni, sheraton, westin, hyatt and intercontinental 4 out of 5 star trip advisore and 95% hotwire recommended. $83 per night with 3 nights being $312.90 Am I right the IC or Sheraton? Thanks.

i decided to just stay at port orleans for another night to make it ez. i cannot report any of these hotel locations.

After looking at hotel links here. Appears that 4.5 i drive south sea world location is likely hyatt regency...?

Sorry for leaving that request out there. I put in a reply on that. My bangkok trip was last minute and my company wanted me to book hotel directly but not a 5 star hotel for me on that trip. Majestic grande is pretty nice tho.

I ended up going direct to booking at Grand Majestic due to my work wanting me to book direct with hotels internationally. Therefore, I did not follow up on this thread. My apologies.
