I ended up booking hotel Palomar directly from PRICELINE for only $85/night. It previously reappeared on HOTWIRE (I think, based on the indoor pool amenity) but it timed out before the reservation went through. Thank you all for th help!

AAronJB I may not be doing this correctly so I am not sure if you saw my post from the 14th. It looks like most of those hotel are no longer available, so I plan to start my search over. I have been waiting for Palomar to return to Priceline/Hotwire, with no luck so far. I also came across what I believed to be the Dana Hotel and was interested in that. Of the 4.5 star hotel is River North, it seems like everyone gets either The James or the Godfrey, how are those in terms of location? I was interested in the Dana or any other 4* hotel that has great reviews and a good location. Based on Bidding Helper below is what is currently available: 4.5* Mag Mile- Water Tower $74 Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Children's activities, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower 4.5* Mag Mile- Water Tower $119 Pet friendly, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower 4.5* River Walk - North Loop $93 Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby 4.5* River North $86 Free Internet, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Internet access, Spa services 4* River North $64 Free Internet, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower 4* River North $83 Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower

Thank you so much! I was tempted to book the Hotwire one just to see what it was, but it keeps saying the last person to book got the Godfrey...though I do not know how accurate that is. I am planning on booking in the next few days, and just saw Hotwire added a coupon code for $25/off and added another hotel that shows the last winner as receiving the Chicago Athletic Association. Is this a hotel you would recommend? I am partial to staying River North, but Chicago Athletic keeps coming up on suggestions as well. I would love your suggestions on what to do while in Chicago, we really have nothing planned. I think we will try to go to a few museums, as a Bank Of America account holder I will get free admission to almost all the museums and the Shedd Aquarium since it is the first weekend of them month, a perk I just learned about. Between the Art Institute and Museum of Contemporary Art which do you prefer? Thoughts on Shedd? We also plan on having Chicago style pizza while in town, and maybe one nice dinner at a steakhouse? Would like any/all restaurant recommendations or must haves. We will probably only do one nice meal and the rest somewhat casual. Is a Eataly a must do? Sorry for all the questions! Below is what I am seeing on Hotwire today for 2 adults, 3/2-3/5 4.5 Star $102 Loop--Theater District Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Internet access 4.5 Star $91 North Loop-Riverwalk Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby 4.5 Star $78 Magnificent Mile- Water Tower Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Children's activities 4.5 Star $79 River North Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry, Internet access, Spa services

I am planning a trip to Chicago 3/2-3/5 and have heard we should stay in River North. I would like to get the most bang for my buck, and it looks like hotel rates are fairly low for my dates. I found the below amenity set when using the bidding helper, but when searching from my desktop I see the same hotel but the TA star rating is 4/5 and it says there are 101-300 reviews on TA...I find nothing that matches that number and meets the same criteria. 4.5 Star Chicago River North 3/2-3/5 $78/night Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry, Internet access, Spa services
