I booked a 4* in NMA - Water Tower - Golden Coast for $113 per night using the HOTWIRE link Avenue Hotel Chicago for 3 nights - 9/14/9 => 9/17/9 Amenities : Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access, Tennis Nearby That's it, it's over. So we have from 9/9/9 to 9/30/9 $413,28 - 5 nights - Bulfinch Hotel 107 Merrimac Street, Boston,MA,02114 $392,20 - 3 nights - Avenue Hotel Chicago 160 E. Huron Street, silkHotelCityStateZip:Chicago, IL, 60611 $89,36 - 1 night - Sheraton City Center Indianapolis 31 West Ohio Street, Indianapolis,IN,46204 $288,79 - 3 nights - Hotel George - A Kimpton Hotel 15 E Street, NW, Washington,DC,20001 $155,78 - 2 nights - Holiday Inn Baltimore-Inner Harbor Dwt, MD 301 W.

So we finally made up our mind. 4* in Hoboken / Jersey City : The Westin Jersey City, newport $109 / night using the HOTWIRE link (Sep 25, 2009 to Sep 30, 2009) Amenities : Fitness Center / Restaurant(s) / Business Center / High-speed Internet Access / pool I would like to thank both of you for your advices, it has been very helpful (one more to go - 3 nights in Chicago)

I am thinking about booking this offer : 4* in North Michigan Avenue - Water Tower - Gold Coast - $109 Amenities : Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High-speed Internet Access I guess it's not possible to identify this one from that list ? 4* Allerton Crowne Plaza (previously 3.5*) 4* The Drake Hotel (previously 4.5*) 4* Millennium Knickerbocker 4* Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago

I am trying to ID a 3* in Midtown Central Using the HOTWIRE link, the price is $119 per night (Fri, Sep 25 to Wed, Sep 30 - 1 room, 5 nights) Amenities : Fitness Center / Restaurant(s) / Business Center / High-speed Internet Access Tripadvisor rating : 3.5 Do you think it can be the Park Central Hotel ? Do you think it's a good deal ?

Good guess again. Sheraton City Center for $72 using the HOTWIRE link Fitness Center / Pool(s) / Restaurant(s) / Business Center / High-speed Internet Access Date : 9/17/9 - 9/18/9

Just won 3.5* Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel Philadelphia - $96 per night Philadelphia - Center City East : 9/23/9 -> 9/25/9 Amenities : Smoke Free Rooms / Fitness Center / Restaurant(s) / Business Center / High-speed Internet Access

I am trying to ID a 3* Hotel in Chicago but I can't find a match !!! 3-star hotel in Museum Campus - McCormick Place - Soldier Field - $72 Amenities : Boutique Hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Business Center, High-speed Internet Access No trip advisor rating Il looks like this area is quite big ?

Hello, I am trying to ID a 3* hotel in Downtown Indianapolis that Hotwire is giving me for 1 night on the following date : 9/17/9 Amenities : Fitness / Pool / Restaurant / Wireless / Business Centre Price is $77 / night Tripadvisor ratig is 3.5 I don't find any match but I am thinking it could be the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis - Downtown Union Station Any ideas ?

Just won Holiday Inn Baltimore-Inner Harbor Dwt for $66 / night Mon, Sep 21, 2009 - Wed, Sep 23, 2009 Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities Golf Nearby

I get your point and I will think about it and tell you what I think. Then again, I will try to book as many dates as I can and see what I can afford for NYC at the end. Depending on that I will make a choice.

Hello, I get The George Hotel (good guess again) for $83 per night. Dates : 09/18/2009 - 09/21/2009 (3 nights) Rating : 3,5* Location : The White House - Capitol Hill Star rating: Price per night : $83 Amenities : Boutique Hotel / Fitness Center / Restaurant(s) / High-speed Internet Access

I will do as you say : try to find the best offers on each previous city. Boston is booked (thanks to you), and I will try to do the same for Chicago, Indianapolis, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. An hotel outside the city is not a problem for us until it is closed from public transportation. Which area would you recommend for a start. Regards Fabien

Hello, I will be in Washington from 09/18/2009 to 09/20/2009 (2 nights). I have an average budget per night of 120 $ ("all in"). We are looking for 3 stars hotels (clean and quiet) closed to public transportation. I have found the following offer on HotWire : Location:The White House - Capitol Hill Star rating: Price per night : $79 Amenities : Boutique Hotel / Fitness Center / Restaurant(s) / High-speed Internet Access Do you think it could match the Washington Court Hotel Thanks in advance for your help Fabien

Just won this one : 3* Boston - Bulfinch hotel in Quincy Market - Financial District Price per night : $73 Dates : 09/09/09-09/14/09 Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Restaurant(s) High-speed Internet Access

You were right, it is the The Bulfinch Hotel. So i payed $74 per night for this one. I am really happy with it, thanks a lot for your help.

It says : Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Restaurant(s) High-speed Internet Access It could match with the 3* Holiday Inn at Beacon Hill ?

I have been too slow :) , the offer is no more there ... What do you suggest ? Should I wait for a while or should I try something else ? I have been looking at this one also : 3-star hotel in Quincy Market - Financial District for $79. Any idea about the hotel ?

Both zones look fine to me

Yes, that's fine, I think I will book this one. I will let you know.

Thank you for your response. I will create a seperate thread for each city in the correct area. Regarding BOSTON : $120 is a "all-in" bid (is it realistic ?) and a 3 stars rating hotel

Bonjour, My name is Fabien, I'm french and I live in Paris. My girlfriend and I are planning a 3 weeks trip in September. I have been doing some price simulations for about a month. I am interested in using Priceline or Hotwire for hotel booking but I am a total newbie. Your advices are very welcome. I have been reading this forum for several days and I hope I am dealing with this the right way. So here are the details of our trip (dates are confirmed, plane tickets are booked) : 09/09/2009 : Boston (5 nights) 09/14/2009 : Chicago (3 nights) 09/17/2009 : Indianapolis (1 night) 09/18/2009 : Washington DC (3 nights) 09/21/2009 : Philadelphia (3 nights) 09/24/2009 : NYC (6 nights) We have an average budget per night of 110 to 120 $ We are looking for hotels (clean and quiet) closed to public transportation. Do you think our budget is realistic ? Can you give us some advices using Priceline or Hotwire ? Thanks in advance for your help (and pardon my french :) ) Fabien
