We were indifferent between staying in North Michigan Avenue ("NMA") or Millenium Park ("MP"). Preferred a 4* hotel but would have been okay w/ a 3* hotel. I wasn't in a big hurry as I gave myself 3 weeks to find a room which allowed for a methodical bidding strategy. Can't remember the published rates for rooms that weekend but can say roughly speaking that 4* hotels in the NMA/GP area were going for $150 - $175 / evening on the most inexpensive night and 3* hotels were listed @ $112 (for a single hotel) - $154.
