I will be in Chicago 3/25-27. I tried PRICELINE last month but was unsuccessful, so currently I have a reservation using a rate I got through travelzoo. 3.5 Mag Mile Streeterville: I see that HOTWIRE is offering a 3.5 hotel with fitness center, business center and high speed access. No rating or reviews are provided, but the rate is a best value of $89 and it is approx. 9.6 miles from midway. Could you help me identify this property. Thanks. I'm still hoping to find a rate around $85 that has a pool.

Regarding the 2 star hotel, I had also considered the Marriott Fairfield Inn @ $129 booked direct, which is rated 2 stars but that hotel doesn't show up on your hotwire list. I just thought someone might have an educated guess which hotel this could be. Wishful thinking that it might the be the Fairfield!

Seems like I have little choice, there is what I want to pay, then the market rates, sigh! Anyhow, these rates are the closest to my budget range. Before I bite the bullet, wanted to get a "2nd opinion" of what I might wind up getting. Thanks.

I am now trying to book a hotwire room for under $75.00 2 nights 3/25-3/27. Choices include: 1) 3.0* Mag mIle $69.00 (retail comp @ 129 save 60) 3/5 Traveler rating 120 reviews Fitness / Internet (Closest match = Inn of Chicago?) 2) 3.5* NMA- Water Tower $79.00 (retail comp@119 save 40) 3/5 Traveler rating 140 reviews Fitness / Internet/restuarant/business center (Closest match = Allerton or Seneca?) 3) 3.0* NMA- Water Tower $79.00 (retail comp:n/a save 13.65) 2/5 Traveler rating 180 reviews boutique/ no-smoking/Fitness /restuarant (Closest match = Tremont?) 4) 2/0*Mag Mile $86.00 no addt'l details listed(Closest match = no clue - hotwire list doesn't show any 2 star hotels in this area) Hope I typed all the details in correctly. Any additional thoughts on these potential hotels. Much thanks!

Well, I am disappointed but my priceline bid of 69.00 for the night of 3/25 in Chicago 4*on the Magnificent Mile was rejected. BTW, I did use your link. Priceline did give me a chance to immediately up my bid for an extra $17 (86.00), but I declined as I can book a 4 star on Hotwire for $83 (although I think the 4 star is the Ambassador East, which doesn't excite me). Was hopping to book a room for less than $75.00 near the Water tower like the Westin, Wyndham, Drake, Affinia, or Amalfi. I can book a room at the Drake for 99.00 net (unrefundable) at Hilton's website and I currently have a $109 rate at the Affinia (refundable). Any advice or any other coupons/deals floating out there? This is a great idea for a website - wish I had thought of it!
