  1. River North seems to be the sweet spot this season for best hotel/price and you can't beat the logistics. It's a tight zone so you don't have to worry about getting too far inland or migrating out of walking distance as can happen with the Millenium zone. We secured the Hyatt on Wacker today at $78/night this coming weekend using the River North zone, rated at 95% on Hotwire. The options available on the Magnificent Mile are great, but you may encounter add-on fees that don't apply in other zones which may add $10-20/night over your nightly rate. I'm particular about satisfaction rates with hotels in Chicago and would take a 3.5* at 90% over a 4* at 75%. Chicago is a walkabout town and provides so much better dining and adventure out of the hotel so we find it's really a clean room and a quiet/comfortable night's sleep.
  2. I just secured 4/28-5/1 through Hotwire's "Hot Rate" list and we're staying at the Hyatt Regency on Wacker for $78/night, less $20 coupon they emailed me today. If you search the River North zone and see 95% Recommended, you can expect it's the Hyatt as others in the area are rating 90% or below. If you're interested in more details, earlier today I posted to this site about my (unsuccessful) Priceline bidding and Hotwire purchase.
  3. River North, Friday 4/28 - Monday 5/1/17 Numerous $54-72 PRICELINE bids/re-bids in the past week have been rejected throughout the downtown zones. (Yes, we're cheap. However we've found patience and persistence usually pays off in Chicago bookings.) PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals have been offered as low as $80 for 4* in Millenium Park Priceline recommended rebid focusing on River North was $91 but this was higher than $88 for same criteria offered today through Express Deals. HOTWIRE offering $78 for same criteria with an extra $20 "one day only" savings, net $72/night. Based on the trending for the Priceline "Express Deal" and Hotwire "Hot Rate" I'm pretty sure I could have won a better price bidding later this week. However, we opted to lock due to Hotwire reflecting the coupon and yet-to-be-named hotel reflecting a 95% positive experience.
