I was wondering if you ever see the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac come up on Hotwire or Priceline?

I've been doing some research ( and making many phone calls) about parking in downtown Chicago. Thought I would share that the cheapest I've found was at Navy Pier. They told me it was $20 for 24 hours. Much cheaper than all the garages and certainly cheaper than hotel parking.

Just booked the 4.5* hotel in Lombard/Downers Grove for $69 and it indeed came up Westin Lombard. With free parking and just 40 minutes outside of Chicago it is a fantastic deal!! This is for just one night July 18. Thanks for the great suggestion!!

Any idea what that hotel might be?? I noticed it has has "spa" for one of the amenities?? Thanks for the tip!!

Thank you so much for your suggestion...................I appreciate your help. I will certainly have a look at the Oakbrook area. The price for a 4.5* is amazing. We snagged the Conrad downtown for July 19 - 23 for $125 on the hotwire Travel Ticker. We are very pleased with this as any other deal we have come across is not available for the dates we are looking for. Wondering if there is an important convention going on that week. Anyways, thanks again for your help.

Yes it is.............is it possible to just change the topic/title when posting a new idea/question?? Thanks for your help.

We will be driving into Chicago from Michigan the middle of July to attend the Chinatown summer Festival in Chicago. We would like to stay just outside or on the fringe somewhere the night before so we can get into Chicago in good time for the festival. Any suggestions for hotels/areas to look at? Our two daughters would appreciate a good shopping mall nearby too!! Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Although we are not travelling to Chicago until mid July, we couldn't pass up the deal at the Conrad. At a rate of $125/night for a room with 2 double beds and in a prime location we booked for 4 nights. I haven't read a bad review. We really wish there was a pool but we will manage I'm sure. Just thought I would pass this along. Chicago bound!!!

Yes it is for the same trip. Thank you again for your help!

I was wondering what is the actual rating for the Intercontinental in Chicago? I've been checking the New Board of wins feature and it seems sometimes it is posted as a 4* and sometimes a 4.5*. Is there a feature that makes it easy to identify on Hotwire? Thanks for your help.

We will be staying July 18 - July 22. Thanks for your help. I do apologize in advance for any "etiquette" errors as I've just joined. Thank you for your patience.

Anyone know what hotel this would be: Magnificent Mile Area/ Streetsville Boutique Non-Smoking Fitness Centre Restaurants Business Centre H.S. Internet Access It is currently on Hotwire for $139/night. Thanks for your help
