Stayed at the Inter-Continental for a single night - 6/28/08 I was a little concerned when I won this hotel with my bid ($150) as I was traveling with my wife and (2) small children (ages 3 and 8). The hotel bent over backwards for us: They helped us get an early check in (aprox. 1:00 pm) after we talked to them a week before to request a room w/2-dbl beds and non smoking, and again the day of our stay. This early check in allowed my 3 yr old to have the much needed nap. They accommodated our request for (2) double beds and the non smoking room. My wife and I had both reconciled we would each be sleeping with (1) of our children. Upon check-in they saw our family and offered to bring a roll away bed to the room. The room was quite spacious, (an fit the roll away bed - no problem) we had view from the 19th floor of Michigan Ave. The pool while not a "kid" pool was beautiful. You simply can't beat the location, walking distance to Navy Pier in the heart of action on Michigan. Great Job Inter-Continental. :) -Doc

All 4* and the Mag Mile / Streeterville I tried @ $90 - no go I then tried @ $120 - no go Then $150 - yep In Chicago for the Cirque Du Soleil show. Needed to move in big price jumps as I feel a single Saturday night and only 3-weeks away was not going to be easy or cheap. I got the Intercontinental which I have stayed at before for work. Nice hotel, maybe not the best for my (2) children (3yrs and 8yrs) as I remember the rooms being pretty small (ala European hotel). I live a couple of hours away from the city so sleeping with a 3yr old will be for only 1-night - :) this is a good board, will continue to use. thx. :)
